The Musical Company will license Shaina Taub's musical adaptations of As You Like It and Twelfth Night to professional companies worldwide.

As You Like It, created by Taub and Laurie Woolery, is now available for licensing. It premiered in 2017 as part of the Public Works program at the Delacorte Theater. Twelfth Night, created by Taub and Kwame Kwei-Armah, premiered in 2016. It will be available for licensing later this year, following the show's return engagement at the Delacorte Theater. The musicals were first presented as large-scale pageants, and feature flexible cast sizes.

Taub also wrote songs for and starred in Bill Irwin and David Shiner's Old Hats, and composed the theme for the Julie Andrews Netflix series Julie's Greenroom. She is currently writing a new musical about Alice Paul and the American women's suffrage movement.
