Permission to perform a theatrical production of a song that someone else wrote.  

Whenever you perform a live theatrical musical production on stage, such as My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, or The Phantom of the Opera, you will need special permission directly from the Copyright holder or their agency. They will require a fee based on the number of performances, ticket prices, and sales.

Theatrical Licenses are custom negotiated between the licensee and the copyright holder. This means that the copyright holder can demand any price or deny permission altogether. We do not offer Theatrical Licenses at this time. To get a Theatrical License, contact the publisher directly or through an agency. A list of agencies that can help you get this permission is available here . For several popular Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, visit RNH.com.
