According to the letter sent to the venue, cities with a population of more than 150,000 are not allowed to put on a performance that is currently running on Broadway. The version the Dayton Playhouse planned on performing is different than the version set for the Broadway stage, but the lawyers said putting on the performance here in Dayton “would constitute willful infringement of copyright” and if the show went on, lawyers would “file an action for copyright infringement” against both the theater and the entire cast of the production.
