Anything having to do with the original movie and MGM is outrageously expensive.
Back in the '70's our high-school drama club wanted to do TWOO, and of course do it as the musical that it's known for.
However, just to RENT the sheet music, and this was in the 70's, was stupidly expensive, something like $3000 for 3 months.
I was a junior then, and I offered to arrange the music if I could just get the conductor's score. That only cost the drama club $150 for six months. I spent the first 3 months arranging and transcribing individual parts for the "orchestra" we assembled to perform the music for the play.
Now most of TWOO music is on Musecore and downloadable (subscription).
