Must I get rights/a license to perform songs from the musical feature in between dialogue?
Next summer I would like to do an outdoor showcase using a few songs and in between dialogue from Mamma Mia. We will be performing in my backyard and we will not be charging for the show, but we would be promoing for it like a regular show. Must I buy rights to the show for this? Thank you.

For Rent: Do rights need to be secured for high school students competing with a single scene at our State Drama Festival?
Our students are able to compete with scenes from musical theatre this year. The scene can only be five minutes long and is adjudicated by a professional (theatre teacher, college professor, or professional working in the field). My students are looking to perform a scene from Rent. Do they need to secure rights and pay royalties to perform a scene for our State Drama Festival?

Hello, do you think there would be anyway to get rights this year for a 10 minute cut for a high school speech competition? My seniors have wanted to do this musical since they were freshmen and it would be amazing if they could. Thanks you!
