I'm preparing a production of "Crazy For You" for the theater in Mannheim. The orchestral parts, published by Tams-Witmark in 1993, must have been made with Finale: the Petrucci font is unmistakable. But the publishers do not have a full score, or if they have one, they're keeping very quiet about it.
I was musical director for the Montreal Equity production of Crazy for You in 1996, supervised by one of the original collaborators, and part of my duties was to reduce the orchestration. It was understood by the producer that I would do that, the author/director had mandated it, Tams-Witmark knew about it and was planning to use my reduction for future touring productions, yet NO_ONE would give me a score! I had a huge argument
As to your original question, you could try looking up the names of conductors in New York or Toronto, or try William D. Brohn, the orchestrator, for a full score. I'm pretty sure they have non-disclosure agreements that they are unwilling to break, but it might be worth a try. I've gotten a couple of bootleg scores that way (but not Crazy For You, dammit. I think the Toronto conductor was peeved that I got the gig.)
Good luck, but frankly, I don't see much hope.
Hi to y'all.
I was contracted to A.M.D. this in Melbourne a long time ago and I had copies of the score for rehearsing. Perhaps if you contact Dobbs Franks in Melbourne - I am _sure_ he had copies.
Good luck
