-Piano Arrangements are by Stephen Dolginoff and Eugene Gwozdz. -THRILL ME has no applause breaks. Make sure the songs always appear to flow in and out of underscore. The almost continuous music should never have an abrupt stop or “button” until the very end of the show. -Holding down the pedal at the end of each piece will help continue the effect. -The Original Cast recording of THRILL ME needed to have clear endings to songs, so the score was adapted for that purpose. But this does not apply to the show itself, the score must not be changed to reflect the album. -Often in the score you’ll notice that the lowest bass notes are marked 8vb. Sometimes, however, they are not marked as such. Use your discretion to play more of the low bass notes an octave lower to create mood and drama throughout the score. -There are a few tricky page turns, it is suggested that you photo-copy some pages of the score and tape in fold-outs. This is especially recommended for the PRELUDE, so it can be played straight through with no turns. -No cuts, additions or alterations of any kind are allowed. THRILL ME is scored for only piano only. -Questions regarding the score can be e-mailed to [email protected].

Thrill Me (Finale)

Slow and Free

NATHAN: Seventy-four dollars and twelve cents … my solid gold pocket-watch … a pack of "Luckies" that must be awfully stale after 34 years … and a picture taken in 1918 in Jackson Park … of Richard ... Richard.

CUE: RICHARD: Babe. (Very slow and free)

CUE: NATHAN: My Things?
