inquire about license

Dear MTI,

Hello, I am Mia Park at Our Musical Story (OMS)

OMS is amateur theater company in South Korea. It was newly established in 2023, and in July 2023, it obtained a license from MTI and conducted the musical "Next to Normal".

I would like to proceed with the performance by obtaining a license from MTI again this time, but I am inquiring about the license on the website because there is an error.

1. IF/THEN
2. EVIL DEAD
3. KINKY BOOTS
4. MAMMA MIA!
5. SWEENEY TODD
6. SOMETHING ROTTEN!

I would like to inquire about the acquisition of 6 musical licenses above. If you have an email that we can contact directly and contact the person in charge, please forward it.

All the best of success, Have a greet day.

Sincerely Mia Park

Into the Woods - performance tracks without piano?

My company is interested in purchasing performance tracks for an upcoming production of Into the Woods, but we would very much like the flexibility for me as the MD to play live piano along with the track as well as run the tracks from Qlab. This way I can still conduct the show from the piano for the cast, but also fire cues in Qlab as we go, and provide an element of 'live' music along with the tracks, perhaps even dropping out the tracks and just doing solo piano at moments. Is there a possibility of purchasing the performance tracks without the piano part included in them?

How can I use one number from Rent in my show?

Hello,

I am planning to produce a play in Korea. We would like to include the musical number "La Vie Bohème" from the musical Rent in our production. We intend to translate the lyrics into Korean ourselves and perform it live. While we can request copyright permission for the sound recording through the Korea Music Copyright Association, we need the author’s consent for translating the lyrics and performing them ourselves.

Could you please advise us on how to obtain the necessary permissions for this?

Thank you.

Restrictive rights?

Hi! I am looking into getting rights for a college production in Boston. Would this be impacted by any kind of blanket restriction because of the current Broadway revival?
