Obviouisly I'm not Peggy, but maybe I can help a little too. Help, Help,
The Globolinks wouldn't really be considered musical theatre I don't think.
Although I've been hearing a lot lately about Menotti being "out of fashion"
or something, so maybe he's not considered opera anymore either. I don't
know. I got the piano/vocal score myself from a local library. It looks
like a LOT of fun to do. But you also have to rent some digital tapes and
such for the sound effects from the publisher (this is probably a good way
for them to keep track of who's performing it, when, and where). I seem to
recall it was from Schirmer, which you can go to online at
http://www.schirmer.com.
Or were you talking about The Consul?

Peggy - we did Hansel and Gretel as an operetta in my school (K-12
participated) when I was in - grade school (second grade, I think). Mostly I
remember the colorful costume and dancing in a circle while singing on
stage. My first intro to the stage and I loved it.
Anyway, for next semester we are to consider something from musical theater
and I wondered if this part would be one to consider. Peggy - do you know if
it would be possible to purchase that score anywhere? If you could give me
any information on the music I'd be willing to try and find it - of course,
always open to suggestion. I'm a mezzo.
