Hi Arden, I just took over directing our musicals last year and haven't done an MTI show yet, but for both TRW and Rodgers & Hammerstein, the licensing contract they sent that I had to fill out had a spot to order advanced copies for the director (they included the libretto and the piano score).  ...

Hello Gina, I'm in the same boat for next year so I've been researching it. I found this short little video that gives a pretty good idea of how it can be done. https://youtu.be/rTzOMnS9WQ8?list=FL_NoR82G7tuQk2V4FJZHToA It looks like you can start with the actual end dress and then add pieces ...

I'd put a vote in for The Addams Family...we just did it at our high school and the students had a great time and the audience loved it.  On "paper" it has a cast of 20.....10 that are the main characters & support (basically, the Addams Family members and then the boyfriend and his parents) and then ...

I haven't looked at Sister Act yet....was going to request a perusal....since we also have quite a few strong female students and are thinner on our males. Does the script specifically note or rely on Delores' ethnicity or is it just an assumption because of the movie? ------------------------------ ...

Similar to the discussion that has taken place in other threads about changing or cutting lines, sometimes you have to be careful for copyright reasons on changing a character's gender....depends on the play and the contract, I think.
