Wondering if you have any of the past musicals on dvd and if they could be borrowed to watch?
Sorry, we cannot legally record our performances most times, because it is a violation of our performance contract. There is an occasional show that will allow us to pay an additional fee to capture a show – but those are rare.
We used to be able to order videos of the musicals. Is that still possible? I have copies that were lent out and never returned to me, sadly, of Once Upon a Mattress and 42nd street from 1993 and 1990.
Hello! Thanks for reaching out – but unfortunately, recording of a live performance is a violation of our licensing contract. Currently, we take a lot of photos during dress rehearsals so that we can preserve a lot of the visual images – but audio & video recording is prohibited. The contracts for a musical typically cost about $5000, the bulk of which is paid by the theatre program with the money raised through tickets sales and sponsorships. We cannot risk any additional fines and must follow the contracts we’ve signed. We hope you can understand!
I know someone’s parent videotaped the wiz in 88
That was before my time began at PMHS – and I know that recordings have happened over the years, but it is important that we honor the licensing contracts we’ve signed for each production. For Beauty & the Beast, we’re already paying thousands of dollars – the bulk of which is paid by the theatre program (PM Productions) itself. The district does cover a bit, amounting to about 20-25% of the total licensing. Remember that beyond the licensing costs, we also have to buy lumber, fabric, materials, equipment, shoes, batteries, etc. We truly cannot afford to risk financial penalties for violating the contracts we have in place – we need those funds to help produce next year’s show & keep our program alive and well!
