Native New Yorker,
Anne of Green Gables was musicalized in the 60s and first done at the Charlottestown (PEI) Festival in Canada. It was remounted for a quite successful West End run in the late 60s. I think there were revivals of it in both cities as well.
American character actor and 2 time Tony winner Hiram Sherman was in the cast. I saw this show. Watchable and entertaining and not particularly taxing on the intellect as I recall. This was 35 years ago.
The only NY production was at City Center for a couple of weeks in the early 70s at some point, probably as a Christmas or Easter attraction.
There was a cast album which I still have somewhere. Don't know whether it was put on CD or not.
It might be published since it is perfect for community theatre. Check with the Drama Book Shop or French or other houses.
