Avenue Q seems to be available through both Samuel French and MTI.
But, Samuel French lists no upcoming shows and MTI has dozens of them.

Why would the license be available from 2 different companies?
And is it really available from Samuel French?

I don't see them restricting them to professional productions or only international productions that might differentiate them.

It is not available through Samuel French, though they do sell the Libretto and the Vocal selections. Under the price, it says "Licensing not available through Samuel French".

Ok, I didn't actually press the button "Request License."

Which then gives you information to go to MTI.

Under the price on the webpage I was looking at it says. "Licensing fees and rental materials quoted upon application."

Just for your informtion, this is because Avenue Q sells its libretto for entertainment purposes and Samuel French in addition to listing all of its titles lists most plays that you can buy online.
