How can I submit my original musical for licensing?
Unfortunately, Broadway Licensing cannot accept any unsolicited manuscripts or inquiries at this time. In the future, we hope to be able to reconsider this and consider inquiries from a variety of sources, but the pandemic taxed our resources in many ways and we would not be able to give unsolicited musicals the attention they should receive. Thank you for your understanding.
