Our Next Production: Oliver! (June 2026)
MCMT is incredibly proud to be staging the much-loved classic, Oliver!, in June 2026 at The Arts Theatre. It has been almost 20 years since we last performed Oliver!, and we are looking forward to bringing it back for audiences to fall in love with it all over again… and perhaps for the first time for some!
Performances from 19th-27th June, 8 shows only. Don’t miss out!
ABOUT THE SHOW
Oliver! is the Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical based on the timeless Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist.
The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a spirited orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr Brownlow, takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.
With book, music and lyrics by Lionel Bart, Oliver! is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and to this day it is still widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike.
Oliver! is licensed exclusively by Music Theatre International (Australasia).

Previous Productions
MCMT’s very first musical was Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘Trial By Jury’ in 1974. Since then, MCMT has staged over 80 productions, ranging from ‘classics’ such as ‘Brigadoon’, ‘Oklahoma!’, and ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ to more modern shows such as ‘Young Frankenstein – The New Mel Brooks Musical’, ‘Spamalot’, ‘The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’, and ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’. In 2024, we proudly celebrated MCMT’s 50th Anniversary Season with the Golden Broadway classic ‘The Music Man’ and the irreverent, laugh-out-loud musical parody, ‘Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier’… a fitting mix of the new and well-known!
