RUG Releases Two Shows for Schools Schools in the UK and Ireland will now be able to produce Phantom of the Opera and Cats, the Really Useful Group has announced. "One of the first pieces I wrote was Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," Andrew Lloyd Webber said. "It was originally written for a school. Later it was expanded to be a full length stage show but I still get a kick out of seeing it performed in the way it began over forty years ago. "No way was either Cats or The Phantom Of The Opera written for schools even if TS Eliot did write his brilliant cat poems for his godchildren. But such is the extraordinary growth of interest in musicals at grass root level all over the world, plus the astonishing capabilities of our younger performers, that now schools, colleges and amateur societies put on productions that give professionals a huge run for their money. I am therefore delighted that Cats and Phantom are available to be performed by schools and colleges for the first time." See reallyuseful.com/putonashow for details of how to apply for a licence.
