I saw an ad by this company, and wondered, if/when Spamalot is available for amateur productions, would you want your high school or college to do it? The fine print says licensing is only available currently for non-US, Canada, U.K., and Australian companies, but that amateur rights will be available soon.

To be honest, I'm quite surprised that a relatively unknown company is administering the performance rights for a show of this caliber.

And if your Disney your going to rake in the cash from selling the rights to HSM as many times as you possibly can before the fad wears out.

Thats what we call oversaturating a market. And actually, Disney sells the rights pretty cheap for the show, considering it always sells out the house, knowing that they will make it back in CD/DVD/random merch sales.

Even though this company is new (they apparently just opened shop a year ago) they look pretty cool... and competition with MTI never hurts. This particularly sounds attractive:

Ohhhhh, that's nice. Of course that reminds me of all the un-returned Fame books I found in the high school once. Oh for every photocopied script I've worked from......

Shh...or they'll come after my bookshelves full of copied scripts that directors never collected.

I recently did a disney junior musical show (little kiddies). Talking to the producer about the rights she said that they were cheap ($800 Aus for 3 shows and a DVD of the show, now i dont know if thats cheap by other standards) but the copyright was extremely strict. The three shows and that was it. nothing else.
now thats from my inexperienced work as a student helper who knows little about copyright and licencing |

I didn't think they'd be selling the rights to the show just yet. They're coming to one of my theaters pretty soon if I remember correctly. I thought they'd wait for the big productions to finish up first then sell to the smaller ones.
