Lynn Ahrens has enjoyed a musical partnership with composer Stephen Flaherty since 1983. They are considered the foremost theatrical songwriting team of their generation.

For Broadway's Ragtime, Ahrens and Flaherty won the Tony Award, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards. They wrote the score for Twentieth Century Fox's animated feature film Anastasia, earning two Academy Award nominations and two Golden Globe nominations, and they also adapted the hit musical Anastasia for Broadway. Their many stage credits include Broadway's Once On This Island and its recent revival (2018 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical); Seussical (one of the most produced shows in America); Rocky; Ragtime (Broadway premiere and 2009 revival); Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life; Lincoln Center Theater's My Favorite Year, A Man of No Importance, Dessa Rose and The Glorious Ones; Lucky Stiff; and two upcoming musicals, Knoxville and Marie. Their mutual honors include the Oscar Hammerstein Award for Lifetime Achievement, London's Olivier Award and four Grammy nominations. In 2015 they were inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame. Ahrens and Flaherty are Council members of the Dramatists Guild of America and proud co-founders of the DGF Fellows Program for Emerging Writers.

Individually, Ms. Ahrens is an Emmy Award-winner for her work as a television writer and producer. She received the Betty Comden Lilly Award for Lyrics, and Syracuse University's highest honor, the Arents Award. She is a mainstay singer/songwriter for ABC-TV's famed animated series Schoolhouse Rock, and she provided lyrics for the holiday extravaganza A Christmas Carol (composer, Alan Menken) which ran for ten holiday seasons at Madison Square Garden. She wrote the teleplay adaptation of A Christmas Carol for NBC, and the adapted screenplay for the movie version of Lucky Stiff. Her short stories and essays have been published nationally and have earned nominations for Best American Essays and the Pushcart Prize.

I absolutely adored the musical. It was truly a remarkable experience that left a lasting impression on me. So, when I came across the opportunity to purchase this particular item, I simply couldn't resist.

It contains a wonderful selection of the sheet music, which allows me to relive the beautiful melodies and songs whenever I want. The quality of the sheet music is excellent, and it's very easy to read and follow.

In addition to the sheet music, I also love the pictures included in this item. They are vibrant and colorful, and they really bring the musical to life. The pictures add an extra dimension to the overall experience and make it even more enjoyable.

However, there is one thing that I wish this item had more of, and that is background information on the play. I would have loved to learn more about the story, the characters, and the creative process behind the musical. It would have given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of the work.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. It has provided me with hours of enjoyment, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the musical as much as I do.

This came from "my list" and it was truly awesome.

It was a total surprise that left me completely amazed.

The historical fiction presented in it was executed extremely well.

The author did an excellent job of bringing the past to life and creating a vivid and engaging narrative.

What's more, I actually learned a great deal from it!

It wasn't just an entertaining read, but also an educational one.

I found myself immersed in the story, learning about different historical events, cultures, and people.

It broadened my knowledge and perspective, and made me appreciate the importance of history.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical fiction or wants to learn something new.

It's a must-read that will not disappoint.

I can't find the actual script,

but it is fabulous nonetheless.

Despite the lack of the specific written text, there is something truly remarkable about it.

Perhaps it's the way the story unfolds in our minds without the need for a physical script.

Maybe it's the potential that lies within it, waiting to be discovered and brought to life.

Even without seeing the actual words, we can sense the magic and wonder that it holds.

It's like a mystery waiting to be solved, or a hidden treasure waiting to be unearthed.

And although we don't have the script in front of us, we can still appreciate its beauty and allure.

It leaves us with a sense of anticipation and excitement, wondering what might have been and what could still be.

In a way, not having the actual script makes it even more captivating, as our imaginations are free to run wild and create our own versions of this fabulous story.
