Copyright Information

The purchase of a single script infers no Copying or Performance rights. (Scripts and music can’t be copied for readings, auditions or rehearsals without purchasing the Copying Fee.) The fee gives you the right to copy the script and musical scores that you have purchased as many times as you need for these performances.

To stage a performance, you must announce your performance dates to Maverick Musicals and state whether you are or are not charging for tickets. This will dictate what kind of royalty fee you will be invoiced for.

Copying Fees (for rehearsal materials) and a Performance License must be obtained before your production can take place. Our streamlined system means that a Performance License Application is activated when you order the Basic or Deluxe Package. (Please note that it is a breach of Copyright to copy scripts and music, or to perform musicals or plays without the Publisher’s permission.)

Shifty Crooner

AU$45.00 – AU$720.00 ex GST

‘The Big Time is just around the corner!’

It’s 1926. And Shifty Crooner is in his prime. He has planned his greatest con to date, and everything is in place.

All he needs is a bunch of naïve counterparts. A sibling, a wealthy widow, an FBI agent, an accountant, a few singers, a couple of lawyers, an underground bootlegging king, a music agent and a few street guys. Simple.

Can Crooner pull it off? Or has he gone too big this time?

Crooner’s confidence is sky high. He manipulates his willing followers into believing he is putting on ‘The Biggest Show of all time’, and relies upon their greed to sell his candy.
However, wealthy widow – Martha Sullivan-Bouché smells a rat, and in reply, crafts a clever con of her own, but does she have the wit to outsmart Shifty Crooner?

Follow these characters through the web of deceit and into the maze of the unknown as they venture into a plot that twists and turns and never rests.
