can we hear a sample of the Performance Tracks before purchase?
We are trying to decide what resources to use with our show and would like to hear a sample of the Performance Tracks. I have downloaded the Syphonia onto my laptop to listen to the sample there. Just trying to get a feel for the sound.

Orchestration
I am planning a show at a black box venue, and The Last Five Years is one of my all-time favorites and I would love to produce it. Is it possible to obtain a disc with the accompaniment for the performances and not just as rehearsal tracks?

About Concert Style Musical
Dear Music Theatre International Staff,
My Name is Kosei Maeda, and I am an artisctic director of orchestra in Japan.
I'm thinking now that we will hold a concert which forcuses on Musical especially, Westside Story or Les Misérables now, and I have some questions about performace and licence.
First of all, I would be delighted if you answered whether we can hold a concert style musical ( which means we use only music and song, nothing else) or not.
Secondly, if we can, tell me how we should do, and tell me the process to use music and music scores please.
Finaly, tell me how much is the total cost, please.
I'm so sorry for poor English, if you can answered as soon as possible, I would be happy.
Yours sincerely,
Kosei Maeda

Any suggestions for the short term hospital (Gurney style) bed in the opening sequence of "Matilda the Musical?"
We are at our wits end. We have a more modern gurney reserved for the show from the local EMTs, but it is very modern looking and heavy. We have asked at our local theaters we normally borrow or rent props from - but to no avail. Any suggestions how to make one or borrow/rent?

How to do Josh's transformation at the end of Big?
I'm about to go into production on Big the Musical. We'll be going with a smaller, stripped-down concept, so I'm trying to figure out how to do the transformation at the end. We don't have a huge budget, but I thought about the idea of walking through a door or a mirror...I'd rather not do a lot of splashy effects. The goal is to make it look seemless and simple. Any thoughts?

Are further costs per month added to the show materials cost dependent on how long you would like the script for?
I am wanting to know whether the Show Materials cost of $895 is a one-off payment for an unlimited amount of time or whether there are additional monthly costs etc, as with the adult version of Mary Poppins. For example, We would not be putting a show on at our school until September next year, but are wanting to get an idea of what the script looks like and the music as we would want to get more than a piano working on it. We would be wanting at least a perusal now and to get everything in properly in February next year.
Also, what are the legalities involved if our Music teacher were to write in a few instrumental aprts for students to play along with the piano score provided. Is this allowed?
