Anybody know who has the rights to "Pump Boys and Dinettes"? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find it.

Also, do the actors have to be able to play the instruments? Seems like I saw something about that somewhere but I'm absolutely unfamiliar with the show so I could be completely wrong..

I think the rights are held by Samuel French.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Fairly minimal - but of course, you can always go all out and it wouldn't sound bad. I've seen it done very well and effectivly with just keyboards, bass & percussion.

Thanks (about the icon!) I was making the new one while you posted, but I'm gonna put MCG back when the whole Charity ordeal dies down.

I hate to disagree, but the the whole point of the show is that the "Pump Boys" play their own instruments. There are four men - guitar, bass, keyboard and drums. The men have specific character types.

Doing this show without four real musicians as the Pump Boys is kinda like doing ONCE ON THIS ISLAND with white people.
