Hello,
I know it varies depending on several factors, but can anyone give me a ballpark estimate on what the rights cost for Godspell?
Thank you,

Which company? There are two companies that license GODSPELL - one is MTI, the other is Theatre Maximus. (Theatre Maximus was the original licensor, & owns that great logo.) You can go to either website & get an estimate based on your ticket prices, house size, & other factors. I'm going to be directing GODSPELL in December - we're going with Theatre Maximus, they're GREAT to work with! ------------- There's a little bit of diva in all of us. Some just have a larger helping than others. |

| Are there any advantages in going with one or the other, or is it just that one company may be cheaper? |

Theatre Maximus owns the original rights to GODSPELL, including that great logo - & it's the ONLY property they handle. MTI has the revival rights, with the ugly "G-shield" logo ------------- There's a little bit of diva in all of us. Some just have a larger helping than others. |
. Theatre Maximus is, IMHO, better to work with - they're great folks, willing to answer anything (they've even called me at work to answer questions I've sent!), & very accepting of groups making changes to update (that was one of the questions I'd asked). MTI's score also has the usual MTI errors - I worked with a company that used it a couple of years back. On the other hand, if you're a member of AACT, MTI is offering a pay-four-get-one-free on Stephen Schwartz shows, so that might be a consideration.
