OH!
DR elmore - The other day you posted:
"...in 1998 I was the subject of an article in OPERA NEWS about the restoration of the 1938 BOYS FROM SYRACUSE. There were complications on the project: one of the music staff at R&H, who never backed up his computer, lost the entire vocal score he had created under my direction, so Rodgers & Hammerstein cannot make the show available except on special occasions. The band parts are the originals, cleaned up and in some cases recopied by me, but there is no vocal score."
So...
Boys is listed on RnH.com for rental. It also lists a vocal score - and I just checked HalLeonard.com and there's a vocal score available for purchase. Were you saying that there's not a Revised Vocal Score available right now?
I did notice the band rental package only lists 14 books/players. Was this the original or the Roundabout Revival?
