Welcome to the home of Hyde Musical Society
Hyde Musical Society is an award-winning musical theatre group based in Hyde, Greater Manchester established in 1940 and performing productions in Hyde since 1941 (something we are very proud of).
We perform one large musical production in the Spring each year, most years a week before Easter. We also organise a calendar of activities throughout the year. Each production brings new members, who we always welcome with open arms. Auditions normally take place in September time, with rehearsals starting not long after. We take a short break during Christmas and New Year, and continue rehearsals twice a week until the show. We are very proud of all our cast, crew and creative teams of each show we present, in fact all our members seem to love the close family feel Hyde Musical Society offers. This is something we are also very proud of. It's all about 'sharing the love of musical theatre'.
Our next show...
After the postponement of Spamalot to 2026, we are proud to announce that our 2025 spring production will be... The Band.
The Band opened at Manchester's Opera House in 2017. Since then the musical filled with Take That's top hits has taken audiences across the UK by storm.
In 2023 the stage musical The Band was adapted into a film called Greatest Days.
The Band finally returns to Greater Manchester in April 2025 when it lands at Hyde Festival Theatre. Hyde Musical Society will be one of the first amateur societies in Greater Manchester to perform this fun, energetic, juke box musical.
