Switch gender of Minstrel?
Would it be possible to have the Minstrel played by a woman? This would increase the number of feamle lead/featured roles from 2 to 3, making it much more producable for schools.

Licensing Fee Waiver
We are doing a non-profit, theatre outreach, production this spring that will travel to Title I schools free of charge. Are there any programs that would allow a discounted or waived performance rights fee for a production like this?

Does MTI have any approved cuts or changes that would make the show more appropriate for a traditional school's audience? I love the show, but I know there are a few lines that my administration would balk at.
When we did SPAMALOT, the company that held the licenses for it offered some alternatives for some of the more racy material. Any chance MTI will do that for SOMETHING ROTTEN?

Lyrics of Shipoopi in Music Man KIDS
Hi Cindy!
We are working on a production of Music Man Kids and we are getting parent push-back from the first few lines of Shipoopi, which we assumed would've been changed in the Kids version of the script.
Specifically:
Well, a woman who'll kiss on the very first date
Is usually a hussy
And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out
Is anything but fussy
Do you have any suggestions? Is there an approved alternate set of lyrics we could use?
Or do you have a better explanation of the lyrics that we could explain to the kids and parent?
Thanks!
John Barthelmes :-)
