The current source for the amateur stage rights of The Movie is Tams-Witmark. You must go through Tams-Witmark and pay their royalties if you want to use the music from The Movie, even if you don’t use their script. They have two different versions, one based on the 1940s St. Louis show (http://www.tamswitmark.com/musicals/wizard.html), and one based on the Royal Shakespeare Company’s adaptation (http://www.tamswitmark.com/musicals/wizardrsc.html).

The MTI website includes contact information, including for countries outside North America, at http://www.mtishows.com/contact.asp. Another version is av
