Can I burn a copy of audio I purchased onto a CD?
Yes. It’s very easy. But you can make copies only for your own personal use, unless you buy a Limited License to Copy Audio.

I have licensed a production of the show. Can I make copies of the AUDIO tracks for my band or singers?
Sure! Just purchase a Limited License to Copy Audio for the number of people in the cast andband. The minimum you will need is 6 - if you are using accompaniment tracks and have NO band.
Some groups ask each band/cast member to reimburse them for their copy. OR ... we can send each person a link, if you give use their email.
Just remember you have to pay for every copy for every person who gets a copy.
IMPORTANT: Once you’ve registered your production, you ARE allowed to copy the play script and lead sheets for your cast/band members. (We don’t do that for audio products because one fee would mean that small productions would overpay and large productions would underpay. Just pay for the number of audio copies you actually need. And please don’t make illegal copies!)
If you want to make and distribute digital copies of your group’s performance, there may be small Mechanical, Master Use, Videogram or other licensing fees involved, depending on what you want to do. But, unlike some other publishers/record labels, we make it very easy for you get these permissions – legally and quickly.
Just tell us what you think you want to do when you register your production and we’ll tell you in advance what it would cost.

Nope.
“WAiT – it’s a musical!” is NOT covered by CCLI or any other church licensing entity. And only A.M.TuneShop, LLC (that’s us) give you permission to present the show, or issue a Live Stage Performance, Limited License to CopyAudio, or any other license.

Ummm.... NO!
Please tell your friend to buy the materials and get their a Live Stage Performance License for their organization.
It is EXPENSIVE and TIME CONSUMING to create a musical and put it in a form that others can use. I can't pay my bills if your friend doesn't pay me for using what I've created. A license is ONLY for the original purchasing organization.

Live Performance
Most church groups, schools and/or amateur groups that perform “WAiT – It’s a Musical!” will NOT have to pay royalties, because they don’t make money from the show.
BUT If you sell tickets, use the show to raise funds, and/or * 1000 or more persons will watch the show, you MAY owe a royalty.
A simple royalty rule-of-thumb – if you or your group make money off the show, then the playwright /composer/publisher earns a royalty that you will pay - a percentage of your earnings.
To find out if you will owe royalties, just tell us what you want to do when you register a Live Stage Performance License. Then we can figure it out.

No. Due to the mysteries of secure purchasing via the internet, we never even see your credit card information. And our store/download partner - Payhip - is super secure.
I’d rather buy from a store that I’ve heard of…
How I wish you'd heard of me! (Just kidding... sort of...)
You can only download performance materials and a permission to perform the show directly from A.M.TuneShop, LLC.
