MYTS MYTS aims to develop the singing, acting and dancing skills of young people from Stafford and beyond

Founded in March 2007 by Musical Theatre Stafford (then Stafford Operatic Society), MYTS aims to foster a love of musical theatre, singing, acting, dancing and performing in children between the ages of 8 and 18. Through skills based performance, creative workshops and annual fully-staged productions and concerts, MYTS strives to provide a focused, friendly and fun environment that allows the chil

dren to develop in both skill and confidence. Since their inception, MYTS have gone from strength to strength averaging fifty to sixty members a year and performing their annual show at the Stafford Gatehouse Theatre each July. Bringing shows like Dr Suess’ Suessical the Musical, Footloose, Les Misrables, and Westside Story to the Gatehouse Theatre, as well as their two NODA (National Operatic & Dramatic Association) Award winning shows Children of Eden in 2011 and Honk! In 2015, and their three NODA nominated shows, Legally Blonde in 2017, High School Musical in 2018 and Godspell in 2019. Wind in the Willows was performed in 2022 after a break due to the pandemic. We are now rehearsing for We Will Rock You (Young at Part) to bring this fantastic musical to the Gatehouse Theatre in July 2023

Following a glorious bank holiday weekend, most likely filled with music and dancing👀, we thought we’d treat everyone with our July 2027 show…

It’s time to put on our dancing shoes all the way to Bomont, because Musical Youth Theatre Stafford will be performing: ‘Footloose’ in July 2027.🕺

It’s safe to say that our members were a little excited when we told them✨ and so are we!!!

We request a brief intermission from the Bugsy posts, to share some important information regarding our 2027 production. But don’t worry, Bugsy rehearsal shots will be back before you know it!🎭

Our beautiful dancers are masterfully led by Skye (who plays our very own Tallulah). There doesn’t seem to even be a hair out of place in these poised photos (would you believe they were taken whilst they were running the number?!)…we reckon Tallulah runs a tight ship! 💁‍♀️

We don’t mind, because the finished product is looking spectacular✨

Make sure you secure your tickets now!

POV: you’re at rehearsal and having the time of your life in Doug’s vocal warm ups.

Whilst we know the undeniable value of a good vocal warm up, they’re also just a good time. Our MYTS tell us just how much they enjoy all of the exercises to warm up their voices - how amazing is that. Something so simple transformed into an exciting and fun part of the rehearsal process (I’m sure you can tell this from these clips). 😅

Not only that, but also each week we make sure we sing Happy Birthday (in harmony, duh) to our members when their birthday is! What a wholesome group 🥹

✨All of this is proving is two things: you need to support by watching ‘Bugsy Malone’ or, if you’re the right age, come ans join us!✨

🌟Getting your children into theatre (both on and off stage) is of our utmost importance.

That’s why we’ve made children tickets only £10 for our production of ‘Bugsy Malone’. In a world full of TV and screens, your children deserve to experience the magic of theatre in real-life.

And then, who knows, maybe next year you’ll be the one watching them on stage…
