Into the Woods JR.
Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical. Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.
The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.
With unforgettable roles, minimal dancing and no chorus, Into the Woods JR. showcases a medium-sized ensemble of talented singers and actors. The sophisticated score has been adapted to make it more accessible to young performers.

Has there been any forward movement on this for streaming rights? With COVID I would hope that there would be some type of release or an option to purchase streaming rights for the JR shows. Anything? I REALLY want to do this show, but admin says no unless there streaming rights. Can I pay extra for them????

Streaming rights.
Hi! I was planning on doing Into the Woods Jr. this year & was wondering if streaming rights were going to be available, just in case.
Thank you!

Performance Rights in Japan?
I teach at a small international school in northern Japan. We are considering INTO THE WOODS JR. as our spring musical next year. However, over the past few years, many Broadway JR. shows have been restricted to only North America (USA and Canada). Does anyone know if this show will be available to perform in Japan next year (spring 2021)?

Can you change the performance dates for your show after having sent in the completed contract?
Before sending in my completed contract, I asked everyone in the show if they were available during the performance days, and they all said yes. Unfortunately, quite a few of our performers forgot a trip they had already paid $500 each for that was non-refundable.
I really don't want to recast the play, since we just barely had enough auditions to put it on, and I'm not sure we'd be able to fill all the roles if we tried to.
Is there any chance that MTI would let us change the performance dates by a week?
In case this changes the answer, we're putting on 2 performances of Into The Woods Jr. in May, 2019.
Thanks,
Kye

Do Jr. plays always come with year-long rights?
In the "help" section of Into the Woods Jr. someone from MTI answered a question saying, "Purchasing the showkit provides you with the licensing right for one calendar year."
In the showkit section of the site however, it says that they created "a special license just for accredited schools grades K-9. This license includes all the ShowKit® resources, plus the right to perform the show as many times as you would like within one year." This seems to suggest that to recieve the rights for a full year, the performers have to be in grades K-9, however we can get the license for people up to 18 years of age.
Which one is it? Does any Jr. musical automatically come with the rights for a full year, or do the performers have to be in K-9?
