Introducing Imperial College Musical Theatre Society (MTSoc), host of spectacular shows since 1956. Whether you're hungry for an opportunity to dazzle in the spotlight, jump into the pit as part of our incredible band or work behind the scenes with costume, make-up and tech, MTSoc invites you to join us and find your niche in one of the most exciting societies Imperial has to offer.
With an ever expanding number of shows, including the full scale Spring Show, 24 hour musicals and Showcases, alongside great socials, MTSoc is a great way to get involved in something different. Previous shows include Footloose, Legally Blonde, In The Heights, RENT, Sweeney Todd and The Rocky Horror Show. Below you can find a description of all our annual shows.
The cabaret-style Revue show is MTSoc's first production of the year and is designed to welcome newcomers into the society and give everyone a taste of what the MTSoc is about. In addition to the show, which runs towards the end of autumn term, you can expect a variety of social events throughout the year including discounted West End trips, Rockaoke and MTSoc Sports Day.

The Spring Show is the BIG one. With competitive auditions opening just before the end of autumn term, the cast, crew and band rehearse through spring term in preparation for the society's greatest annual spectacle. Taking place in late Spring, this 'full scale' musical production is the highlight of the year for MTSoc, and for ICL's social calendar.
"The 24" is wrapped in secrecy. Up until 7pm the night before the show opens, no-one knows what the show is going to be. No title, roles, songs, scripts or costumes are given away. The cast, crew and band then have only 24 hours to produce an entire musical production. It is an intense labour of love that never fails to astound the audience, and is not for the faint hearted. #noclues #massconfusion
Our spring term Studio Show is a small-scale production designed to showcase the talents of society members alongside Spring Show. Created in 2018 to accommodate a rapidly growing society, the show is flexible and experimental in its contents and style. It's a great opportunity for directors to bring unconventional ideas to life and for performers to create brand new roles onstage.
The October Show is a small-scale production hosted by members from the previous year to entertain incoming Freshers and give them a taste of what we can do. The show is part of a double bill where MTSoc collaborates with DramSoc (ICU's Drama Society), and is the perfect time for newcomers to get to know each other and the society's existing members.
Our mid-term cabarets are the perfect excuse to get away from college and enjoy an evening of musical theatre sung by fabulous members of our society. Every term we leave Imperial (if only) to a nearby pub to celebrate the society's talents over a pint (or five).

President
Last year, Naya used a ghostwriter for her committee bio. Now that she's president, she actually has to write her own bio (she's really bad at writing bios). And so, she has no other words other than she's so excited to spread love and spend her final year with her favourite society!

Vice president
In the last year of her Physics degree, Jaz is thrilled to have made 'resident oldie' status on this, her most favourite of committees. She dedicates this bio to all the resident oldies that came before her, and all those yet to come.

Treasurer
Giulio spent his first year spending what little time inside and out of his JMC degree dedicated to overcommitting to MTSoc. While struggling to balance his degree and societies, he realised he could better spend the next year struggling to balance his degree, societies and MTSoc's finances. He hopes he can help others find the belonging and warmth he did in the society by not crashing it into crushing debt.

Secretary
Jay is a second year ChemEng student who's excited to neglect their degree for MTSoc once again! Expect to see her with boxes of baked goods, huddled over her laptop, formulating the most unnecessarily, blindingly colourful spreadsheet you will ever lay your eyes upon (and yes, you can have a cookie <3)

Publicity Officer
Dana is absolutely buzzing to finally be on committee! What better way to finish their biomed degree than to carefully craft MTSoc's posts and stories and captions, just like they do on their own account. They even curated this bio a month in advance. That's how much they love their job.

Webmaster
Jack is a 3rd year Computer Science undergraduate. He has found the perfect way to spend more time with MTSoc while also learning for his course: MTSoc Webmaster! He is super excited for a final year of musicals, cabarets and costumes.

Social secretary
Averen is thrilled to be providing some much needed materials rep in MT. Entering his 2nd year, he cannot wait to blow your individual socks off with the socials planned. Trust, there will be explosions (if the union reads this, I'm joking). Be there or be square. 😎

Social secretary
Stephanie is a 3rd year medical bioscience student and is super excited to be social sec this year! Now that she's on committee she gets to spend even more time with her favourite people and even less time on her degree (whoops!)
