Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the original Broadway script? There seems to be quite a few differences in the song choices between the stage and film versions, and I would just be curious to read the original script. Thanks for any help!

There are 12 copies available at $25 or less.
FUNNY GIRL was reconfigured considerably in its transition from stage to screen, and became more of a "drama with songs" than out-and-out musical. And Columbia Pictures had the money to spend to license "Second Hand Rose" and "My Man" for use in the film (which resulted in the loss of the beautiful "Music That Makes Me Dance").
