To get a quote for the license fee, you’d need to contact the publisher of the show. In this case, that seems to be:

Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization. See: http://www.rnh.com/show/57/Joseph-and-the-Amazing-Technicolor-Dreamcoat

Elsewhere on the website, they provide the following contact information:

Show licensing is managed by R&H Theatricals.

Each of the performing rights organizations represents certain songwriters, so licenses from all of them are required.

My Associate told me he has 2 licenses one from BMI and one from ASCAP. Don’t you only need one license ?

Also he only plays Mexican music.
Do these licensees still apply ?

Is there a list of music available that I can inspect for proof of musician registrations. I’m sure it would make for very interesting reading.

Please give me a clear understanding of ASCAP rules for having Direct TV on in the dining room of my restaurant. I have 3 T.V.s and a projector screen. I don’t play any music except at night when I close. Thank you very much.

Comment on ASCAP sues restaurants over music use… are theatres next? by Thomas Broido

ASCAP and BMI do not census nor survey uses wherein the cost of said census or survey would cost a great percentage or more than the income derived from that user base. It is therefore in the best interest of the songwriters to agree to have that money go into the general fund and be distributed on the basis of other censuses and surveys.
