Can I sing songs from a musical in a concert?

You don’t need a licence from us if you are performing songs from a stage musical in a concert providing that you are only performing up to four songs which do not exceed a total of 20 minutes. You may not perform any dialogue or create a cut-down or condensed version of the whole show. Performances must not be visually suggestive of the parent show, for example through the use of costume, choreography, props, scenic effect, singularly or in combination. For public performances of up to four songs not exceeding 20 minutes from a stage musical, a licence for the usage of the songs will need to be acquired through the Performing Rights Society.
