In general, professional theaters pay at least $75 per performance of a full-length play or musical, and at most 8-12% of actual box office revenue. The up-front royalty guarantee is most regularly between $75 per performance and $250 per performance.
To perform a play, performance rights must be obtained. Theatrical rights are the rights permitting performance of a work onstage whether written in theatrical form or yet to be adapted for theatrical performance, such as a novel or short story.
A dramatico-musical work is an opera, operetta, musical play or show, revue or pantomime for which the music has been specially written. Licensing is undertaken by the appropriate rights holder. Cinematic musicals such as Mary Poppins are classed as dramatico-musical works when adapted for the stage.
