New York: (Alexander H. Cohen and Hildy Parks) / Rodgers and Hammerstein, 1981. Softcover. Near Fine. Playscript. Mimeographed leaves printed rectos only, screw bound into embossed black wrappers. Very near fine. Rodgers and Hammerstein label on first leaf noting that this copy has been revised for their production company in 1981. This musical, the last to be composed by Richard Rodgers (who died in 1979), is an adaptation of the comic play that Rodgers and Hammerstein produced in 1944. That in turn was adapted from Kathryn Forbes's novel *Mama's Bank Account*, and was the basis for the 1948 George Stevens film with Irene Dunne as Mama. This musical version featured music by Rodgers and lyrics by Martin Charnin. Laid in is a master property list, and a letter from a Rodgers and Hammerstein executive to a set designer offering $1000 for him to design sets for the play.
