Urinetown is one of those shows that has a very narrow range of effective direction - its just the nature of the show. I'm all for protecting you creations, but there's not much that can be done if altering the creation will knowingly not sell tickets.
If you do a production of "Will Roger's Follies" its almost assumed your going to have a large staircase. Its not that your stealing the original design, you just need a staircase.
