Restricted for Licensing
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Sometimes a particular musical MTI represents will not be available for local production at the time a group wants to perform it. A restriction of this kind may be put on a show when a national tour or a large professional production is taking place in that community or region. Restrictions may block out local performances prior to and after the run of such a production.

Because restrictions are put in place or lifted at any given moment, it is always important for an organization to obtain a performance license and send it back to MTI with payment to "hold" their rights before announcing a production. If an organization has a valid license and a show becomes restricted, in most cases MTI will be able to honor that previous commitment, even though rights for other organizations in the same area may subsequently be denied.
