I google "to kill a mockingbird musical" and didn't get much. except for this.
Where can I get a copy of the play?
To Kill a Mockingbird was adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel. It is available from
Dramatic Publishing
331 Washington Street
Woodstock, Illinois, 60098
800-448-7469 and 815-338-7170
www.dramaticpublishing.com
The stage adaptation is listed as being for 11 men and 6 women and extras. A sound effects tape is available and the playbook costs $5.95.
Sergel has adapted many works for the stage, including The Mouse That Roared, Up the Down Staircase, The Outsiders and Pillow Talk. He and other Sergels run Dramatic Publishing.
There is a story that in 1970 efforts were made to adapt To Kill a Mockingbird as a musical, starring Don Murray, but the rights could not be obtained and the project was abandoned. (Whew!)
"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, take the moment & making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity."

I hope this isn't true. Even the wonderful movie, which I really enjoyed, couldn't give half of the novel's heart.
The novel is a Pulitzer Prize winning piece that should not be messed with.

Like I said, I don't want another brilliant novel ruined.
Ok, that was harsh, I actually liked TCP.
