About Us
Bringing musical theatre to life in Bristol since 1946.
Bristol Musical Theatre has been at the heart of Bristol’s theatre scene for nearly 80 years. Founded in 1946, we’ve evolved from a traditional light opera society into a dynamic musical theatre company, performing a wide range of shows for audiences across the city. Whether it’s a West End classic, a bold modern musical or one of our immersive Murder Mystery Evenings, we bring energy, heart and professionalism to every performance.
Who We Are
We’re a passionate collective of performers, directors, musicians, creatives, and volunteers — all united by a love of musical theatre. Whether you’ve been performing for years or are brand new to the stage, BMT is a place to grow, create, and belong.
Bristol Musical Theatre is a registered charity, run by a Management Committee of volunteers.
