About This Show
Come join us for a unique celebration of musical theatre, telling its remarkable 100-year-old story with the songs that have made it so popular. Featuring performers from both the West End and national tours, The Musical Theatre Story takes you on a narrated journey from the birth of the Modern Musical in the early 1920s, through the Golden Age both on film and stage (Oklahoma! Singing in the Rain, Carousel, West Side Story, etc), through the rise of the rock and dance shows (Jesus Christ Superstar, Chicago, Cabaret, Tommy, etc), right up to the present day, where the Epic Musical (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, The Phantom of the Opera), Disney and the Juke Box musical (Jersey Boys, We Will Rock You, etc) have risen to dominate the West End, Broadway and the silver screen.
