I wrote my own musical, are there any laws?
Question by Frida C: I wrote my own musical, are there any laws?
I know that if you buy the script for a musical, sometimes you are not allowed to sell the tickets for money. Well, I was wondering if the laws have anything about self written plays. I have not used other people’s music or anything like that. I think that it most likely is okay to sell tickets for money, but I just wanted to check, and I couldn’t find anything online, so I am asking Yahoo! Answers. Thanks for the help everyone!!!

Great job! I write musicals too. I’m 14 and I’ve written 3 so far and preform them at a college theater. No, there are no laws. You can sell tickets as long as it is all your own material, which I’m sure it is. Also, I recomend mailing the origional script to yourself and not opening it. That is called a poor man’s copywrite. That way if someone tries to steal your work you have proof that it is yours. Good luck! 🙂
