About us

Founded in 1968, we’re very privileged to still be performing to audiences of over 5,000 a year in venues across Dorset, Hampshire and the New Forest. We typically put on two shows a year: one at The Regent (Christchurch) in spring and a second in the autumn, in our home town of New Milton at Forest Arts Centre. As well as big shows, we regularly perform themed concerts in the local community.

 

Over the last 58 years we’ve entertained thousands of theatregoers with timeless classics, such as Oklahoma! and My Fair Lady, as well as contemporary shows, including 9to5 The Musical, Sister Act, and Funny Girl.

 

Annually, we also have great success with our original productions that are written by members of the society, including Westenders, Departures, Once Upon a Time and Power of Love, where we performed to sell-out audiences.

What makes us special

What makes MMS special is our inclusive and diverse membership. Our casts are made up of talented individuals of all abilities ranging from 8 to 80 years old!

 

We believe that everyone should have a chance to perform, and many of our members have found hidden talents: singing solos they didn’t know they could sing and dancing steps they didn’t know they could dance!

Ovations Milton.jpg

  The collaborators on CHESS are giants of rock music and rock musicals, & here they have created a complex rock opera that has played to full houses and standing ovations around the world. In this musical, the ancient game becomes a metaphor for romantic rivalries, competitive gamesmanship, super-power politics & International intrigues. The pawns in this drama form a love triangle; the loutish American chess star, the earnest Russian champion & a Hungarian born English woman who arrives at the international chess match in Merano,Italy, with the American, but falls for the Russian. From Merano to Bangkok, the players, lovers, politicians and spies manipulate & are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score that includes "One Night in Bangkok" & " I Know him so well", not to mention "Anthem" & "Nobody's Side".
