This play is an excellent view in the wonderful world of Anne. I fell in love with the movie at a VERY young age, so was extatic to find out that it also had it's own musical! This play is impecably written... perfectly portraying the spunk of Anne, critical nature of Marila, and kind heart of Matthew! It even lets you into the world of a few minor characters, such as Lucilla Harris the shopkeeper, whom we all know for selling Matthew Cuthburt the dress with 'puffy sleeves'. It has the perfect balance of emotion and comedy. After reading this play, I actually brought it too my local theater company. It is in the works, and will be performed this fall! The lines are wity, and the songs catchy... what else could you ask for when looking for a musical with substance?! Whether you are looking for a future theatrical project, or simply a fun read, I know that you will find this play to be VERY rewarding!

It's not very clear from the description, but unfortunately this book does NOT include the songs/music, nor does it let you know where these are available, so as such, it isn't really that useful if you want to put on the play...you will need to source the music elsewhere.

I am an EXTREME fan of Anne Shirley--I've read the books, seen the movies, been to Prince Edward Island...and seen the musical! I just love this musical...I've seen it twice! This past summer and the summer of 2002. I have the soundtrack and I listen to it all the time. I just wish I could watch the actual production all the time. This musical is wonderful, so do buy the script and put on a local musical...you'll be sure to have a pleased audience!

The product was exactly what I was looking for, easy to find and therefore an easy purchase. My only complaint would be the expected arrival time. Initially, I picked a shipping time that would have brought the product to me in 2-3 weeks. When I decided to upgrade shipping to something sooner, my quoted arrival time never changed, and I wasn't given the option of cancelling my order. Needless to say the product came early. But I just wish the quoted arrival time was more accurately posted.
