A dozen races pitching in and having their own crack at the American Dream."; "Written by Christopher Gore"; set in a fictitious New York City high school, based on the real High School of Performing Arts; about a group of highly talented students going to school and trying to become singers, actors, dancers, etc. at the same time) starring Irene Cara (best remembered for singing the theme song to this movie; as Coco), Lee Curreri (as Bruno), Albert Hague (as Mr. Shorofsky), Paul McCrane, Gene Anthony Ray (as Leroy), Debbie Allen (as Ms. Grant), and Anne Meara (as Mrs. Sherwood) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of any supplements or heralds (if there are any included with this pressbook), but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Finally, note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
