I'm not sure what the book is called, but I have the chapter. It was transcribed and sent to me. Hal talks about his experiences working on that original production of "Whistle" (it is the original production that intrigues me the most and there have been many people who actually preferred it over the London production)
But have a look around, it might be called "Harold Prince: A Director's Journey".
Gibson sent me the chapter ages ago.
