Questions & Answers

The Drowsy Chaperone begins with a recorded overture. Is that provided?
The show begins with the man in the chair putting on a record, and the live band comes in at around m65. Is that initial recording provided in the materials when you license the show, or is the live band expected to record that and then join their recorded selves during the performances?

Flint Revision of The Fantasticks
I see that Provincetown Theatre has announced it will be producing the Flint MI version of The Fantasticks. Do you know when other theatres will be able to license it as well?

set and costuming restrictions
In the online perusal, there is a note about the importance of using the pallette and look from the original TV series. The promotional performance images are straight from the original creators' vision. However, although that is ideal, are there any licensing/ permission hurdles to do so?

High School Casting?
Would a high school be able to do this show without any references to race? Coming from a not so diverse school, I am wondering if Apollo could be played by a white actor and any lines with a specific reference to race changed?

Tour
Hello!
After Beetlejuice Tour ends in the US, can we expect more news to follow on the release? Is there a year planned for release? Will there be a High School version included with the release?

Current version of The Fantasticks
Hello,
I'm slated to music direct a production of The Fantasticks this summer, and given that it's a bit difficult and exposed I'd like to get a jump on practicing the music. Can you tell me if the currently licensed version of the show matches the published vocal score "The Fantasticks 50th Anniversary Edition"? It seems to match "The New Off-Broadway Recording (2006)".
Thanks,
Matt

Orchestra parts
I played this show several years ago when the orchestra books were notated in script. Are the current books still in script or are they typefaced?
