T are only a couple of pencil handwritten notations inside that I saw, a stage direction and a typo. I assume this is original, because why fake it? My brother lived in New York for many years, was in the musical theater, and loved to collect historical papers at auctions (such as indenture papers, etc.) I assume he got it tOTHER THAN THAT, I HAVE NO PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS SCRIPT. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. It is definitely a typewritten carbon copy. The date on the first page is the only one mentioned. Do not hesitate to ask questions, or request extra photos or close-ups, whatever. I will answer as well as I can.
