How butchered is the revival Follies libretto? I mean the original seems impossible for me to find.

Should I not waste my time with the revival :-/?

or is $100 too much for a script. I for one bought an incredibly poor quality book of scripts just because it contained the original version of Company, however that one was dirt cheap.

Keep in mind I might buy it first

Ugh. The seller misquotes the lyric he highlights.

It's not "The man I'll never be, who remembers him?"

It's "The Ben I'll never be, who remembers him?"

All the difference in the world.
