Theatrical Rights Worldwide have launched a brand-new extension to their current catalogue. The British Musicals Collection (BMC) will offer the opportunity for British musicals to join TRW's catalogue and be given a worldwide platform of exposure both in the amateur and professional market.

As a company, TRW are passionate about nurturing British Musical Theatre and recognising the talent of British writers. This new division of the catalogue will give these musicals the opportunity to be produced globally by both professional and amateur companies and provides new audience experiences whilst giving the authors a chance to develop an international reputation.

The British Musicals Collection is an initiative that will support writers, and help them sustain longevity of their work. The catalogue will be headed up by Drew Baker, Senior Director of TRW UK:

"When I was appointed Senior Director of the TRW UK office, I was passionate about finding a way to encourage and support New British musical theatre. We are so proud to be launching this catalogue. Everyone here at TRW is so excited about the project and the future of musical theatre, and we can't wait to begin conversations with all the talented writers here in the UK."

The team at TRW are now ready to accept musicals for consideration. Send all material to submissions@theatricalrights.com remember to include a short synopsis, script and any recordings of songs you may already have.

About Theatrical Rights Worldwide

After 12 hugely successful years based in New York, TRW's presence in London will lead to shorter response times for customers in the UK and Ireland, the ability to pay in Pounds and Euros, as well as an increase in show selection. All of this offered by a dedicated and passionate UK team.

TRW's shows include Grease, Spamalot, Jersey Boys, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and Memphis, which they license to amateur companies and schools, as well as professionals. They also offer Young@Part editions, which are 65 - 70 minute editions of Broadway musicals rewritten for youth theatres and schools. These re-workings are tailor made for younger actors, with song keys changed, scenes edited for time and content, while keeping the spirit of the original show intact.
