I have a feeling that, for all intents and purposes, SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING doesn't exist any more. I think Comden and Green might have "disowned" it. The plot was substantilly changed during the tryout. What opened on Broadway in 1961 was written quickly and wasn't what they originally intended. But their original version might have been even worse, considering the out-of-town critical reaction. When "The New York Musicals of Comden and Green" was published in 2000, SUBWAYS was, as the saying goes, conspicuous by its absence. For decades I've been trying to track down the scripts of every musical I can. From the 1950s and 1960s, I have almost every one of them, but, again, SUBWAYS is c. by its a.
