Racial sensitivity

Hi there,

Thank you for the recent updates in the scripts to address the racial sensitivities of Indigenous Americans in Peter Pan. We are performing Peter Pan this year and I have had a few questions regarding the meaning or message behind the "Ug-a-wug" song in the musical and if there is anything offensive in the lyrics of this song. I was just wondering if you had any information that you could provide regarding this. I have googled to try and find an answer but have not been able to find this.

Many thanks

Licensing release

Hello! I am a student and I’ve been wanting to ask my school to do Alice By Heart since it was originally announced to be released (but since then the rights release date has been pushed back)- if there a definite date now of when the rights will be released or is it still sort of vague? Also, how long does it take on average for licensing requests to be approved?
