TL;DR
What did u/mykeuk use Suno for?
A play their amateur dramatics group was staging needed songs that were copyright protected, so a member wrote similar but different lyrics, generated new songs in Suno to fit the play and style, and the group used them on stage. The group used the Suno songs in the production, and the creator says they went down a treat.
What they did
The play needed music, but the songs it called for were copyright protected and couldn't be used. They rewrote the lyrics so they were similar enough to still work in the scenes but different, then created new songs with Suno that matched the play and the style it needed.
How it went
The group used the Suno songs in the production, and the creator says they went down a treat.
Worth knowing
- The rewritten lyrics and the melodies need to be genuinely new, not a close copy of the protected songs, and AI music can come with its own usage terms, so check what your Suno plan allows for public performance.
- Price check: Suno: free plan; Pro: US$10/month, or US$8/month on a yearly plan (US$96/year) (checked Oct 26, 2026).
Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
Write original song lyrics for a scene in our community play. The scene is about [what happens], sung by [character], in the style of [genre or era]. Keep the same mood and length as a typical show tune, but make the words and hook completely our own. Then give me a short Suno style description to go with it.
