Most frequent questions and answers
Whether our shows are performed as part of a theatrical season or for competitions, classroom performances, festivals, or fundraisers, a licensing contract is always required.
Once you’ve decided on the musical you’re interested in producing:
– Complete and submit our online licensing application. The application may be accessed by clicking on the red “Request License” button on any of our shows’ individual pages.
– Once your application is submitted, you’ll receive an automated response letting you know it’s been received. Sit tight!
We’ll be in touch within two business days to acquire any additional information we may need. Once your application has been approved, we’ll send you a licensing contract via email. Sign your licensing contract, and submit payment. As soon as your payment is processed, you’ll have access to all production materials (script, vocal score, and professional accompaniment tracks), which will be delivered to you digitally.
You can make as many copies of these materials as you need and start rehearsals as soon as you like. Your production staff and cast are free to mark, annotate, and highlight scripts and scores at will – you’ll have nothing to return to us.
You’ll indicate your preferred payment method when completing your licensing application. We accept checks and credit cards (Visa or MasterCard).
Lovewell Institute must receive payment in full before any materials are released.
If you have a special circumstance (purchase orders, compressed timeframe, etc.) please contact us here and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
