Amelie Musical Licensing

I don't think we will here about that for a bit. It could follow a similar path like Tuck Everlasting which closed at the end of May and the rights were officially given to Sam French at the end of August if I remember correctly.

QueenAlice said: "I would guess the producers might hold to the first class rights for a while before licensing the show. They might be hoping for a major production overseas, or even (they can hope) a tour of some kind - possibly with the aim of revising the material further. It took a while before WOMEN ON THE VERGE was licensed to MTI, and they are still not making the title available."

Spot on, though I think it will be perhaps a German or Australian production. The West End is heavily impacted by the success of the show on Broadway and the national tour I don't think is likely unless a show has recouped a decent portion of it on Broadway. (Sunset was rumored to have recovered 80%, Finding Neverland supposedly recouped over 70%, etc)

I DID see a college production of Women on the Verge last year, however; so the rights had to come from somewhere.

I was hoping to mount a production spring 2018. Here's to hoping MTI holds the title because Sam French can be unbearable to work with

WHEN will Daniel Messé, Nathan Tysen, and Craig Lucas let me, a chubby twenty year old gay man, play the title role, huh?!? The time has come.
