    What are some other companies that do Juniors?

    Tams Witmark has some of their shows in Young Performers editions (we are currently doing Bye Bye Birdie YPE and it’s sooo much better than the Disney shows for middle school actors). Rogers and Hammerstein also have a similar set of scripts but I’ve never done them and I know there is a youth version of Addams Family at TRW but not sure if they have others.

    My list is the same - 

    R&H G2K (Getting 2 Know) - 
    https://www.rnh.com/collection/10/Getting-To-Know
    Currently 7 shows.  (I'd be very curious to hear from anyone who has done or looked at the G2K version of Footloose!)

    TRW has just 4 shows at the moment, but they say they are planning to add more (Young@Part, also Younger@Part, like MTI Kids)
    https://www.theatricalrights.com/shows/     (click type - Young@Part)
    (Curious to hear from anyone who has done Spamalot with middle schoolers.)

    Tams Witmark (Young Performers Editions)
    https://tamswitmark.com/young-performers-editions/
    Currently 5 shows.

    So, MTI is certainly the largest collection, but there are other options.  We have used R&H (Once Upon a Mattress), and found it to be essentially the same as MTI Broadway Junior in terms of what is provided, the quality of the materials, and how it works.

    Broadway Licensing (broadwaylicensing.com) does what they call JV versions. The collection is very small, but it seems to be essentially the same idea as the Junior versions.
