ITM SHOWS & HOW TO COPE WITH COVID-19
How can you stage a Covid-secure musical if group singing is not allowed? How will you cover your costs if you can't sell tickets and how will your actors deal with the lack of atmosphere in a venue that's virtually empty?
Nobody has faced these challenges before and there's no manual to help you out. Some publishers have pulled up the drawbridge until brighter times arrive. Others are focusing on plays with just a handful of characters to cast.
You and your cast members deserve better and we are here to help you stage a musical - one that obeys the Covid rules whilst keeping everyone safe.
There is Hope
For more than a decade, ITM Shows has offered you the flexibility to edit down the script or omit songs to better suit your own situation.
- Our digital delivery of script, scores and backing tracks is tailor-made for remote learning and Zoom read-throughs
- Maybe chorus and ensemble numbers are out for the time being but you can still include plenty of solos and duets
- Your actors can sing to our backing tracks or even mime to our cast albums, if singing is not permitted
- If your performance dates have to shift, because of local restrictions, that's fine. Simply get in touch and we can amend your contract straightaway
- Virtual online performances or live-streamed shows are also permitted for all our licensees

Piers Chater Robinson is available by telephone, WhatsApp or Zoom to discuss with you ANY aspect of your potential production. You may request these one-to-one personal calls with Piers BEFORE or AFTER you decide to apply for your no-commitment licence quotation.
This may be particularly helpful during the current challenging times when the staging of a musical theatre production is limited to a presentation that falls within the social distancing rules. Piers is also available of course to producers and directors at any time during their rehearsals. To book your call, please email him on piers@itmshows.com.
