Yup. First version.
Hmmmm....
We went after the rights from the movie version because the book rights are actually the ones that were problematic. It all had to do with the way the book was sneaked out of the USSR and distributed by a communist publisher in Italy. He never had the actual literary rights. Carlo Ponti and MGM had a clearer line of title because they put one million dollars in escrow for the Pasternak family and...
Oh it's so complicated. It's almost as Byzantine as the rights for Pal Joey.
I hope it works.

There they keep talking about how it's based off the book and the inspiration for the musical is the book. I also remember reading an interview with Lucy saying that since the musical is based off the book there are several characters from the movie who are missing.
That webpage looks like a tacky geocities page.

I can't find the Lucy Simon interview but that is an article that says it is based off of the books.

B3T, Yes it does. But if you were to go to Yosemite today you would find, at the end of the valley, a rather unremarkable granite wall. In April, however, it's the most incredible waterfall.
Shows can be like that; Broadway too. Have a nice Thanksgiving
So buzz for this will pick up in April?

They have Broadway in their "sites"? Doctor Zhivago won the Best Picture Academy Award? Who's responsible for this web page, the Bush administration?
Exactly. The only above the line win at the Oscars was Rob't Bolt for best adapted screenplay.
