BasOp "Basildon Operatic Society"

BasOp "Basildon Operatic Society" ‘The Society for Musical Theatre in Basildon’ Basildon Operatic Society is an established amateur theatre company based in Basildon, Essex.

The origins of the society go back to the 1930s when the organist at St. Mary's Church, Langdon Hills, decided to stage Pirates of Penzance to keep the children in the church choir out of trouble at the weekends. Curiously then known as St. Mary's Athletics Club, the society grew over the years to become first Laindon and District Amateur Operatic Society, and then more recently Basildon Operatic

Society. The society performs in both shows and concerts, currently producing its annual show in late May or early June, and its concerts in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Originally BasOp's shows were exclusively selected from Gilbert and Sullivan's Savoy operas, but these days a good number of musicals are produced too. BasOp is unquestionably Basildon's leading musical theatre society.

REVIEW

BasOp present BasOp "Basildon Operatic Society"

OUR HOUSE

20-23 May 2026

Towngate Theatre Towngate Theatre
Basildon

"Whilst Our House will definitely appeal to Madness fans, new listeners will just as easily be drawn in by the songs and story, thanks to the strength of the cast’s performances. As with much of Madness’s music, the show is, for the most part, upbeat and a lot of fun, bursting with energy from performances that make it impossible not to tap your feet along. That said, the play also delivers a strong emotional connection, allowing the audience to truly sympathise with the characters and their struggles."
