MAN WITH A LOAD OF MISCHIEF was originally presented off-Broadway
in 1966, receiving rave reviews and garnering such comments as: "A
solid hit " and "Perfectly charming " (New York Times), "Remarkably
appealing " (New York Post), and "Sprightly and ingratiating " (NY
Daily News). Since then this delightful musical has become a
classic, seen in many productions throughout the United States and
countries across the world. The six-character show has seen four
revivals in New York City. RECORD WORLD described the show in this
encapsulation: "Set in a Regency England highway inn, it scrambles
with surprising little condescension the affairs of a gentleman who
isn't a gentleman, a lackey who isn't a lackey, a lady who isn't a
lady and a maid who isn't a maiden with grand comic style. But the
show's real strength-happily, in this musically stultifying
integrated age-lies in its tunes. If anyone would fault the songs
for not being integrated, it is because they stand out from the
text, as a good song will, and can be recalled after the last bow."
Unfortunately the published script and piano-vocal score had not
been available for purchase until their recent publication (2011).
This script represents the complete musical, containing all the
dialog and lyrics, with notes by the show's creators Ben Tarver and
John Clifton.
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.
