Does anyone know if the rights are out yet for like say a high school to do? If not, my drama teacher wants to try to do what that other school did for Les Mis and be the "pilot" school for Mamma Mia!, but does anyone know how to contact the right people?

Nope, they aren't out and I doubt they will be for a very long time.

No the rights aren't available yet, and I daresay won't be available for years. If your teacher would like to be considered for the "pilot" of a Broadway high school edition, he/she should contact MTI. That is a feature that is exclusive to their library, and they are indeed developing a number of shows - RENT, MISS SAIGON, etc.

Why not put on your own original version? I mean jeez, you just take the title of a popular ABBA song, for example "Dancing Queen", put some lame story around the entire catalogue. It'll probably save you thousands of dollars.

And by the way, I'm joking. Don't do that or put on the actual show or else the rights company will come after you.

The sad thing is, when i was 9, I was in a girl band, and we basically did that. Way ahead of our time...
