'Urinetown' blues
Variety.com: "The team's lawyer, Ronald H. Shechtman, has been in contact with reps of the now-shuttered productions in Chicago and Akron, Ohio, asking them to share visual documentation of the performances. The New York side, which met Monday, also expressed willingness to make available their records of the Broadway original in the interest of determining whether the two regional shows plagiarized the Rialto staging, choreography and design."

When a Bway show goes regional is it implied that there should be a difference between the two. If you are renting the materials (i.e. book, script) haven't you paid your dues to replicate. Isn't that why shows go regional to begin with....they are trying to recreate what was so great with the original.
It seems to me like the NYC production is getting a little greedy not to mention a little insecure. Why should they care...impersonation is the most exteme form of flattery right?
