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, we’ve been proudly staging live theatre productions in Hyde since 1941 – over 80 years of theatrical tradition and community spirit.

Each Spring, typically just before Easter, we present one large-scale musical production at a local venue in Hyde. In addition to our main show, we host a variety of events and activities throughout the year, creating a vibrant calendar for theatre lovers of all ages.

We are proud of the dedication and passion of our cast, crew, and creative teams – and above all, the strong sense of community that makes Hyde Musical Society truly special.

We’re always excited to welcome new members – whether you’re a performer, backstage crew, or creative talent, Hyde Musical Society offers a supportive, family-like environment where everyone can share their love of musical theatre.

Auditions usually take place in September, followed by regular rehearsals twice a week. After a short break over Christmas and New Year, we continue preparing for our eagerly anticipated spring performance.

We are proud of the dedication and passion of our cast, crew, and creative teams – and above all, the strong sense of community that makes Hyde Musical Society truly special.

Join us and experience the magic of community theatre in Hyde. It's all about sharing the love of musical theatre.

Our next show: Spamalot!

After a year-long wait, the laughs are finally coming back! Hyde Musical Society is proud to present Monty Python’s Spamalot — the outrageously funny musical lovingly ripped off from the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Originally postponed in 2025, this epic tale of King Arthur and his hilariously inept Knights of the Round Table is charging back onto our stage, bigger, bolder, and more absurd than ever. Get ready for killer rabbits, show-stopping songs, and more coconut-clapping than you can handle.

Don’t miss the comedy event of the year!
