GMTG is a fun, welcoming and lively society that celebrates everything Musical Theatre. Established in 1988, GMTG will soon be celebrating its 35th anniversary of performing shows in the Guild of Students!
There is always plenty to get involved with. This year we will run two big productions (think West Side Story, Rent, Hairspray or Jesus Christ Superstar) and also a showcase where you can find everything from Carousel to Cabaret, Little Shop of Horrors to The Last Five Years, Hamilton to Hedwig. Whether you want to sing, dance or act; direct, design, stage manage, play in the band or MD we have something for you!
We also have weekly workshops every Monday. These are open to all members of all abilities, we just want you all to enjoy yourselves. The workshops will take a variety of activities - such as singing, dancing, and acting - usually taught by students but we aim to get external performers in for one-off workshops.
Keep an eye on our socials for all the information about opportunities for you!
We elect a new committee at the end of each year to run the society, just another way to get involved! On top of this we have open mic/karaoke nights, pub crawls, film screenings and theatre trips so that our members can make new friends and have fun!
Term 2 Main Show - Spring Awakening
Following a group of teenagers discovering the chaos and intensity of adolescent sexuality, the show explores the timeless struggle between child and adult and the anger felt towards the older generation as their children begin to understand the world and learn all that their parents have tried to shield from them.
The rock score and emotive script brings the original text with themes of sexual awakening, youth revolt, and self-discovery into the 21st century with themes that continue to resonate even now in a post-pandemic world.

Term 2 Showcase - Seven Deadly Sins of Song
The showcase concept is based on the seven deadly sins. Different from anything GMTG has done in the last few years, it brings an entertaining and also challenging concept to society. Do you love a musical with a dark twist? This showcase gives you some popular numbers and introduces you to others, each reflecting and representing a sin - Wrath, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, or Sloth.
