Someone is selling Yvonne's 1971 "Follies" script on Ebay, for an opening bid of $3,000 or you can by it now for the cheap price of $10,000.
Just so everyone knows and at least understands, THIS IS NOT MY ITEM FOR SALE.....

That is insane. Insane. I cannot believe I am looking at her notes on Can That Boy Foxtrot in her script. Jesus. God bless ebay.

Posted: 6/29/09 at 10:59amToo expensive for me, but if I had the money I'd donate it to a museum or the Lincoln Center Library where it belongs.

Facinating.
I notice that one of the photos shows the comment Property of Harold Prince.."
Does the seller have permission/authority to sell this?
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Posted: 6/29/09 at 11:13amAll I could make out was that there's some Buddy and Phyllis dialgoue that was cut or changed before the official version was published. What a find! If only I had ten grand to drop!

"it'd be wonderful if the person who bought this donated it somewhere where it could be displayed and appreciated."
With the exception of The Smithsonian or maybe the Museum of the City of New York, there are very few cultural institutions that would make the best use of this.
I like what Trinity College has done with the Book of Kells. They have photographed the entire thing and put it on a cd that you can look at on your computer. Yes you have to purchase the cd at their gift shop, but it's fun to be able to leaf through it and look at it.
