Pirates of Penzance is out of copywrite and can therefore be performed by anyone, right? I'm just confused because it's listed on the Australian Hal Leonard site...

I would assume you have to buy or lease the books (unless you can borrow them from somewhere) so you have something to rehearse from .... Buff

I know that rights need to be bought to produce either of those, but as Buff said, the show as it was actually written is public domain.
