CAN YOU HELP MEi'm making a script of this, but everything is going wrong.
P.S.
i'm doing it for HAFC.
these two girls (first of all)
tore up my OLCR lyrics book,(they thought it was ridiculous and annoying)
2nd i live in houston,
so i can't see the show.
i just wanna ask something:
are the OLCR lyrics as same as the broadway production lyrics?

You do realise that writing any sort of adaption of any musical is illegal?

Not necessarily. You just need permission from whoever holds the rights. I'm still not sure what he's asking though...
Someone (HAFC? --> http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=hafc&meta= wants you to write a jr version.
Your friends (?) tore up your lyric book.
So now you can't do it.
If this company (assuming it's not any of the financial companies on the google page) really wants you to write this, then wouldn't they give you some sort of resources?
Seems really odd to me.

I thought they wanted to write some musical of MP that they are just making up. It doesn't sound like they've got permission if they're just using the OLCR booklet.

HFAC stands for houston family arts center

Okay...
So they want you to write a musical, but they're not giving you any resources?
I've never heard of this company before, but are you sure this is legal? Taking a Broadway show and writing your own Jr version?
|
wicked_boy
|
It isn't legal by the sounds of it.
|
musikal_geek
|
Ah, well.
What can ya do.

That's nice.
But was it legal? Did you have permission from the authors?

i figured it's okay if i do that with mary poppins since they didn't say anything about spelling bee

Okay, here's what's up.
You, mr.musical9, are doing something very illegal, whether you know it or not. And just because you haven't gotten caught yet doesn't make it right. You are not allowed to just put on a musical of someone else's work, even if you "tweak" it, without permission from the people who's property it is (the authors).
I highly suggest you look at actually licensing a show. Musical Theatre International (www.mtishows.com) has a plethora of shows, AND a whole Junior section (http://www.broadwayjr.com/default_HOME.asp). If you don't pay and get permission to use someone's elses work, you are committing a crime.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
