no it doesn't give anyone the rights to perform the show.
-Adam Shankman.

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"
-E!'s "The Soup"

Posted: 8/4/07 at 11:46pmI could have sworn I saw the Hairspray script in a music store in Times Square. I don't know exactly where the store is, but I think it's near Spring Awakening and Chicago. Again, I'm not exactly certain of any of this.

MTI doesn't "release" anything. If you want to do the show, you go to the website when the rights are available (I don't think they are out yet) and you pay for them so that you can get the official script with the vocal score in the back. Once you're finished with your production you hand back the scripts to MTI (any marks made in script like stage directions or boxing of a character's lines must be in pencil so they can be erased before handed back to MTI). You do not get to keep them.
There is a published version of the Broadway script in a book form with commentary and photos of the show as well as some "behind the scene" features. It's equivalent to Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan's book "How We Did It" describing the writing, audition, rehearsal, out of town, and opening process of The Producers which also includes a script of the show with pictures and commentary.
The only rights company I can think of that actually prints copies of scripts for the general public to buy in a dramatist bookshop is Samuel French. However, this is only of the scripts, not the vocal scores.

The entire book/script of the Broadway stage version is available. The rights to perform the show are a totally a different matter.
