Where can I get the script to Thoroughly Modern Millie?

Question

I have to prepare a monologue to try out for a part in a movie tomorrow and it has to be from the 1920's so I thought of Thoroughly Modern Millie. I can't seem to find the script to this ANYWHERE and I have to get it tonight!!
any help??

Answer 1

Scripts for musicals are called libretto's and you won't be able to find it online or in a bookstore.
Plus, musicals aren't good places to get monologes. You need to be reading plays. Check out:

Desire Under the Elms - Eugene O'Neil
A Moon for the Misbegotten - Eugene O'Neil
Enchanted April - Matthew Barber
Orphan Train - Dennis North

Answer 2

First of all, monologues should not be prepared the night before. You should rehearse a monologue and have it performance ready when you audition.

But you can't turn back time.

If you want to do TMM, rent the video and study the monologue that way. I would write it down, then study the text off the page.

You could also use a different monologue, if you want to go to a bookstore and find out what's available.

You won't find many scripts on the internet. they are copywrighted.

Answer 3

I have the libretto. Although you'd have to do some serious cutting and editing because Millie doesnt have a monologue. Muzzy has a monologue which you can use which is short but good enough for a movie. E-mail me and I can send you the monologue.

Answer 4

You can buy it at any theatrical bookstore, order from
Drama Book Shop Inc.
250 W 40th Street
New York, New York 10018
Telephone: [phone]

they rent out scripts to people, but I'm pretty sure that you can't get it tonight, or any other part of the script from thouroughly modern millie, maybe you shouldn't have held it off :)
