As the theatrical licensing division of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, R&H Theatricals serves both our customers, representing over 50,000 theatre organizations worldwide, and the copyright owners, comprised of the authors and rightsholders of our musicals. We are the liaison between those who own the musicals we control and those who wish to present them.

We also provide, on a rental basis, the authorized printed materials required to rehearse and present these musicals.

Our extremely wide range of customers includes elementary, middle and high schools; Broadway producers, summer stock and dinner theatres; colleges and universities; regional theatres and opera companies; community, civic and religious organizations; youth theatres, cruise ships, casinos, hotels and producers of touring and Off-Broadway productions. In addition to North America and Europe, our catalogue of musicals is represented by agents around the world. As you can see, our customers encompass anyone and everyone who desires, anywhere in the world, to experience and share the joy of live musical theatre.
