No, and I didn't say that. What I did say, and what folks need to understand, is that the authors have this power. Some wield big bats; some don't give a damn. But in general on broadway shows, either the authors or their agents and executors are engaged in the process (just as Harnick obviously was here) so that any potential issues can be resolved before the stakes are too high. To be clear, I was not suggesting that all or even many rights holders are extremely rigid but it behooves every producer sitting on millions of dollars of investment to confirm that there is not going to be an unpleasant surprise at a very bad time. And regarding script changes, anyone who changes something without sending a copy of the proposed changes to the rights holder or agent-and this is true at any level-is just nuts. (And yes I know there are many people in our business who are nuts. :-))
