A Legacy of Theatrical Innovation in Huddersfield
Embark on a musical journey with the Huddersfield Musical Theatre Company (Formerly HAOS), a pillar of artistic innovation and cultural heritage. Since 1896, our performances have illuminated the town’s theatrical scene, beginning with our first production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s ‘Iolanthe’. Our story is not just a chronicle of performances; it’s the evolution of stage musicals, mirroring the rich history and dynamic transformation of theatre itself.
From the early days of Light Operas and Operettas to embracing the modern marvels of musical theatre, HMTC has been the torchbearer of theatrical excellence. We pride ourselves on bringing the latest and greatest musicals to local audiences as soon possible performing ground-breaking shows such as Bonnie & Clyde first in Yorkshire. Our repertoire and passion is as diverse as the history of musical theatre itself.
