Re: Copyright question

 I have  coyright question. A school is putting on a musical from a
well-known Broadway and charges admittance. Songs have been changed and new
ones added to the production-taken from other plays by the same playwrite.
Line have been added to the play for local interest. My feeling is that this
is highly unethical and that an artist's work can not be tampered with
without permission. Obviously, directors change interpretations of plays
with costumes, sets and how lines are delievered, but may they make these
kinds of changes as well? Thanks, experts. s
