Did You Know? The first play ever performed in North America, took place on a boat at Port Royal, Nova Scotia. The production, staged on November 16, 1606, was called Le Th'atre de Neptune en la Nouvelle-France.

Music can make you laugh or break your heart... whatever it does, it touches you

The one thing that sets musical theatre apart from all other kinds of theatre is... music. And there's no better way to get a feeling about a show than to listening to a recording. Unfortunately, not every show gets recorded, and if a show has been recorded, often times it goes "out of print" or is difficult to find in a local record store.

MTI has built a catalogue of Reference Recordings equal to none for the shows in our catalogue. These are available for a  shipping and handling fee of $20. Provided on CD, they are the perfect tool for getting a feeling of a score you are unfamiliar with, or reminding you of the sound of a show you have come to love in the past.

Some of the recordings are studio released original cast albums and some are "demos" made by the authors. They have been identified by MTI as excellent aural references for the score, even though in some cases they may not be complete or completely accurate representations of the final score as it exists in the licensed acting edition of the show.

Reference Recordings are available to MTI Groups only on a limited perusal basis as outlined above. Orders from individuals cannot be fulfilled.

Please note that Reference Recording availability does not guarantee that the show is available for licensing. Please make sure you have a valid license before planning or advertising a production.
