I'm having a difficult time tracking down a copy of the script for Parade, or even the ISBN number. Anyone know where to find it?

Lots of musicals don't make them readily available - makes unauthorized productions much easier.  MTI holds the rights, so you could get a perusal from them....but not likely one to keep.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

that makes sense for the Libretto - i tried Perusal via MTI but I am not associated with an Organization within their records so that was a deadend.

The original Broadway libretto was published in an anthology, The New American Musical, along with the libretti for RENTFloyd Collins, and the LaChiusa/Wolfe Wild Party.

Can't say anything about the revised version, though.

There's a little envelope in the upper right hand corner of the forum next to the word "Account," assuming you're viewing this thread on your computer. You should click it, Stefanie.

If it's of any additional help, the 2007 UK cast recording with Bertie Carvel and Lara Pulver includes most/all of the dialogue from that version.
