Permission for the phantom of the opera as a school play?

How does one obtain permission to perform "The Phantom Of The Opera" in a school play? Cost? How long is the process?

If you're talking about the Andrew Lloyd Webber show, you might contact his company about rights, but it doesn't appear to be available for general production yet.

Have you seen that stage show? That is going to get very pricey very quick. Plus its on Broadway so good luck getting scripts and stuff. Most companies that do scripts don't do it for show that are still on Broadway. I think that might even be illegal.
ummm it might be a lot of money cuz all of the stuff.
That would be a REALLY expensive school play. Like crazy expensive. So, uh, good luck.
There are several versions, so I'm not sure which one you're doing, but generally, buying the scripts/scores necessary for cast members, director, crew etc. includes a license to perform. You should go to the Samuel French website (www.samuelfrench.com) and see if they have info or contact one of their reps by phone since they are most likely where you will end up obtaining the scripts anyway and will be able to tell you what your precise costs would be.
You need to contact the theatrical licensing agency that is authorized to negotiate for the ower of Phantom.



If you go to http://www.musicals101.com you can get to a listing of musicals and who to contact.



Unfortunately, you will also discover that Phantom of the Opera is not available.
I'm not sure if you should do Phantom of the Opera. If you did get permission the royalties on just one show would cost tons of money to put on, then the set, props, costumes would cost you an arm and a leg, then you have the special effects, like the falling of the chandelier, etc., for a school play would be too difficult to do. I would recommend doing something like Oklahoma!, My Fair Lady, Showboat, somthing easy and would fit into the school budget.
