Celebrate 70 years of unforgettable entertainment with Musical Theatre Oamaru as we take you on a spectacular musical journey through the decades.
Join us at the iconic Oamaru Opera House from August 6–15 for this special 8-show season celebrating the productions, songs, and performers that have delighted the Waitaki district for generations. (Keen to participate in our reunion? Keep reading!) 
Featuring a talented cast, many of whom you’ll know – along with some very special cameo appearances – this anniversary concert brings the magic of musical theatre back to the stage where so many memories were made.
Accompanied by a full 24-piece orchestra, our performers will bring to life some of the greatest songs ever written, from timeless classics including Oklahoma!, Annie, The King and I, My Fair Lady, and The Sound of Music, through to modern favourites such as Chess, Chicago, School of Rock, Cats, That Bloody Woman, and Les Misérables – plus many more.

Whether you’ve been part of the journey over the past 70 years or are discovering Musical Theatre Oamaru for the first time, this promises to be a heartwarming, uplifting, and unforgettable celebration to honour the shows, and the people that got us to where we are today. Don’t miss this landmark event as we celebrate seven decades of musical memories in true theatrical style.

Directed by Daniel Martin and Melissa Yockney; with Musical Director Samuel Leaper, Vocal team Stephen Hinds and Krissy McGeown, and Choreography by Anna Stuart, Shannon Bond, Kim Mavor, Claire Gilchrist, Hannah Cruickshank, Jemima Riley-Duddin.
