Okay, I'm trying to track down the script (and, if I'm lucky, the score as well) to a show called FRIDAY NIGHT DANCES. It wasn't a Broadway piece, but I *think* it ran off-Broadway. It was one of the first out-there gay musicals and would have been produced sometime in the mid-maybe-late 1970s. The storyline, such as I've been able to find out, chronicles two guys on a Friday night in Manhattan as they pursue separate paths that ultimately take them to the same bar. The second half of Act Two is when they go back to one's apartment, where the other finds out the guy is a virgin, and a hopelessly misguided one at that.

Any ideas? Anyone (as much a long shot as this may be) have a copy of the script?

Call them and they can research it for you or tell you if they have it in stock. If this is an older, lesser known show, you will proabably have to have them order it and it will cost you a fee to do so.

Hey Sam...

I PMd Sean with Drama Book Shop website info!

When I was a little tyke (a year or two ago :), I used to go to bookshop and stand in AWE of the amount of scripts they have!!!

And talk about obscure--they had the scripts to shows like HAZEL FLAGG (a dud from 1953) and AMERICA'S SWEETHEART (a Rodgers & Hart minor classic from 1931).


LONG LIVE the Drama Book Shop!!! :)


I advise ALL of you to check it out:

I spent 2 yrs trying to track down a copy of the Libertine. They found it for me in72 hrs! I now have it autographed & "doodled" on by the director of the film when I met him in TO.
Drama Book Shop rocks!
