rhythms in score vs. recording--Lion KIng Jr.
Dear MTI People,
The recording provided for Disney's The Lion King Jr. is very polished, with the rhythms being very deliberate, and the intonation of the singers is excellent. I noticed, however, that their recording of "Grasslands Chant", which is a cool little piece, has the singers performing the rhythms of that song very differently from what is on the written score. It seems like they have really worked hard to perfect those difficult rhythms on the recording. But they sure ain't doing them the way they were written. My guess is that it was too hard to notate the rhythms that they want kids to sing...or I should say, the notation would have been intimidating for both music directors and singers. So I'm also guessing that we should perform the piece the way it was recorded vs. the way it is written. What do you all think? Thanks, David

Lion King Jr
We would love to put on this show in 2020 (We're a small primary school) and I wondered if the restrictions around venues still applies? I remember that when the license was first released to schools, this show could only be performed on school premises. Is this still the case? Thank you!

Do I buy the Showkit from MTI?
Is the Showkit sold from MTI, because I haven't found it on MTI but it is on other sites. Am I supposed to buy it from another site, and get the licence here? or is the Showkit included in the license?
I'm very excited to be directing the show!

Lion King Jr.
I am very interested, and received a license for Lion King Jr. However, in reading through the license, I realize it states that only children in 8th grade and younger may perform in it. This was supposed to be for our summer children's theater camp program, but I have teen interns in grades 9-12 that work with the students and also perform with them. Is there any way to get exception from the rule?

Digital scripts / scores Lion King
Is it possible to get digital versions of the scripts /scores so we can extract words for our ensemble children? We don't have enough books for everyone but need children to learn the words.
