197520703New York: Printer: Studio Duplicating Service Inc 1975. Limp Leather. Stab binding with brass clasps. Very Good Minus. A type-written program and script for a musical revue starring some of the biggest names in Broadway musical theater at the time: John Raitt Tammy Grimes Dick Shawn Larry Kert Patrice Munsell Cyril Ritchard. And not known for musicals but another big name: Lillian Gish. The script is dated September; the show opened in November 13 the same year at the St. James Theatre and it ran until February 1 1976. Our copy has the inked ownership inscription of one of the actors/singers in the production Dennis Perrin -- perhaps not as well-known as some of the others but a working actor on Broadway at the time. 4to. 29 by 23 cm. Six leaves followed by paginated leaves with a few inserts but also missing numbers reflecting undoubtedly changes in the script and choice of song during the rehearsal period. The revue was made up of generally well-known standards with scripted dialogue interspersed. We assume that there was plenty of extemporaneous dialogue in other places and the scripted dialogue was never followed religiously with liberties taken here and there even with the well-known songs. It would seem that the impetus for the show though was to pay homage to the old chestnuts at a time the American musical was undergoing some radical change -- the same year as this "A Chorus Line" opened which offers the perfect counterpoint to what was being done here. The only institutional copy of a script for this revue that shows up on OCLC First Search is at the Library of Congress which of course would have to have a copy. It is possible the LOC has several different versions of the script; we can't say what they have is identical to this one. One could think that the musical wasn't helped by performers past their prime but that wouldn't be entirely true. Take Tammy Grimes -- her next show after this was "California Suite" a huge hit for Neil Simon in 1976 in which Grimes starred in all three of the plays making up the Suite. And other stars such as John Raitt and Larry Kert might not have been able to repeat their earlier successes but that was not because there was anything wrong with their voices -- John Raitt voice still had beauty and heft when he performed with his daughter years later and Larry Kert one could say had some near misses. And both were surely not helped by changing styles and attitudes regarding musical theatre. Ultimately the problem with a show such as this is that it was a potluck of second servings. These performers would have gone for a decent new book musical if one were offered to them and likewise the audience could too buy tickets for new book musicals such as "Chorus Line". Condition: Light to moderate wear. Printer: Studio Duplicating Service, Inc unknown
