DALRO LICENCES WEBBER SPECTACULARS

DALRO has received the sole mandate to licence major Andrew Lloyd Webber works to schools, universities and amateur dramatic societies. This includes musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor® Dreamcoat.

DALRO was established in 1967 and administers (or licenses) various aspects of copyright on behalf of authors, artists and publishers. It is a long-standing member of the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organisations (IFRRO) and proudly claims an extensive repertoire of both local and foreign content through relationships with local publishers and affiliate international organisations.

This major coup for DALRO means that local producers no longer need to liaise directly with the Really Useful Group Limited (RUG) through its international offices to put on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s crowd-pleasing musicals.

The mandate for DALRO to include all RUG’s shows in its catalogue applies to the whole of Southern Africa and has already come into effect. Now if local producers want to put on Aspects of Love, Evita or any other title from the catalogue they simply need to contact DALRO for permission.

Other shows in the impressive catalogue include: The Likes of Us, Starlight Express, Sunset Boulevard and The Woman in White. And all producers need to do is e-mail theatricals@dalro.co.za with a few details about the proposed performances to enquire about the rights to wow with a Lloyd Webber masterpiece of musical theatre.
