Theatrical licensor Music Theatre International (MTI) announced that theatres around the world can now license All Together Now! – A Global Event Celebrating Local Theatre. This worldwide event celebrates the return of live theatre and allows organisations to produce and perform locally an exclusive musical revue featuring songs from MTI’s beloved shows over the weekend of 12 – 15 November 2021.

MTI’s All Together Now! is entirely free-of-charge to license with no royalty or rental fees. Participating organisations may license MTI’s All Together Now! as a fundraiser for their theatre and perform it live, live-streamed, or a combination of both over a four-day period from 12 – 15 November 2021.

Licensees will also receive a number of MTI’s innovative theatrical resources to help with rehearsals, marketing and performances – all completely free.

“The excitement for All Together Now! among our customers is growing by the day,” said Drew Cohen President and CEO of MTI Worldwide. “Our theatre industry colleagues have also been incredibly supportive and we are thrilled to have a growing roster of Partners (listed below) contributing from so many disciplines within the professional theatre community. This is truly a collaborative effort, and we are all extremely excited that any and every type of theatre from schools to the pros has the opportunity to produce MTI’s All Together Now! in their communities.”

MTI’s Chief Operating Officer and Director of Education & Development, John Prignano remarked that, “We’ve streamlined our licensing process for this special event and there are no restrictions or limits on how many theatres in a particular geographical area can license the revue. Instead, we hope that as many theatres as possible produce the revue on their own, or come together with other organisations in their communities to mount a joint production. We also wanted to give theatres as much creative input as possible. The revue can be presented as a concert-like performance or groups can fully stage, choreograph and costume each song as it is presented in the full version of the show. Theatres are encouraged to feature as diverse a cast as possible, in order to reflect the composition of the entire community. All Together Now! is about bringing people back to the theatre, whether as audience members or cast, crew and musicians. Productions will benefit from a variety of races, genders, abilities, body types, and sizes, so we encourage groups to spread diversity as best they can across all the roles in the production.”
