We’ve been receiving lots of questions regarding amateur and professional production rights for musicals and so decided to create a new resource on The Broadway Musical Home, a production rights catalog. Check it out now!

We will be maintaining this list of the musicals that are available for licensing, with links to the companies who license each one. We also included some notes as to why some of your favorite shows might not be available and how to track down the folks who might give you permission to produce something that isn’t available to the general public.

Is there anything else we could add here to make this resource more useful? Let us know!
