If after speaking to Foyle's in London, or even directly to the publishers,
you cannot find these vocal scores, there`s a very good chance that it is
the publishers/writers policy NOT to have them readily available, due to
them not wanting them to be produced elsewhere, because the West End "run"
is of prime importance at this time.
My 2 cents worth.
