I was reading up on copyrights and understand the process. What I'm confused about is, how do I protect my work BEFORE we start collaborating? Can you copyright a work in progress? What happens when you make changes? I just don't want red tape to get in the way of this musical happening. Thanks for your help!
Any writers out there? I'm writing a book for an original musical and just found a composer. Thing is that I don't know this person that well and am a little paranoid. Anyone know anything about copyrighting a work in progress...what happens when you make changes, etc. Any input would be appreciated.
I just hope the film is done well. I don't expect it to compare in the least to the show but I just hope they don't cremate the premise or the passion behind Rent.

As far as Rent closing, it appeared to be sold out when I saw it on 8/7. The cast was really good...minus Mel's strained vocals. But I heard that Tonya's voice is giving out as well and Daphne's was strained by the end...these recording artists just don't seem to have quite the stamina as the pros. And as far as big names...Jai made a great Angel. Not a fan of Joey's peformance or the whole boyband thing but I'm sure Broadway has some standards beyond a name (I mean who knows Joey from anythi...
Although I didn't see Kristin, Jennifer was an incredible Glinda. It was an awfully big bubble to fill but she pulled it off. There were a couple of moments where she had Idina laughing so hard, she had to struggle to recover. She was my aunt's favorite part of Wicked. She was also really sweet and gracious when I met her before her 8/6 show.
