Where can I find the complete score to A New Brain? I need some sheet music for a class..specifically "The Frog Song" "Calimari" and "911 Emergency"

the whole score would be most helpful, however.

Thanks for your time.

I think the only available version of the score is the one they send you when you get the rights to do the show. Unless someone has an illegal copy of the whole score, but that's about it. Sorry.

There's no way to get the score without getting the rights?

If you live in NYC you could try the NYPL library near Lincoln Center, if you know anybody that goes to AMDA they may be able to get it from their library - or if you know anybody that ocasionally dabbles in broadway scores you could just talk to them and if they dont have it they could probably get it.

The most legal thing to do is find information to write to William Finn or his publishers, and get it from them. Most composers are very kind hearted when it comes to education


You learn to play the straight man, the lines become routine - never really saying what you mean - but i know the scene will change :)

Awesome, thanks. The deal is that I have to perform this scene in my directing class a week from this upcoming Monday. Yikes!

I know...might have to rethink this one as I'm stuck in LA.

I have a hard time believing your teacher would assign a scene that is not readily availible...unless you selected it, in which case you should pick something else.
