Bmos Musical Theatre

Founded in 1886, the oldest musical theatre company in the Midlands and one of the oldest theatre companies in Britain, BMOS has been entertaining audiences for more than 130 years. Until 1922 the Company productions were mainly Gilbert & Sullivan Operettas performed at the now long-gone Birmingham Institute, moving to the Alexandra Theatre in 1923 and an annual production of more contemporary musical entertainment. Through the war years the company continued providing entertainment in barracks and hospitals throughout the region, returning to Birmingham’s Theatre Royal in 1955 before moving the Birmingham Hippodrome from 1957 to 2010. In 2013 we returned to the New Alexandra Theatre and began a renewed relationship which we look forward to continuing for many years to come. BMOS Musical Theatre Company, as we are now known, has entertained tens of thousands of people now for more than 130 years and raised many thousands of pounds for local charities. The Company has also fostered many stars of stage and screen including Jon Boyden, recently a lead player in the Jersey Boys in London’s West End and Margaret Preece who appeared in and was the voice of Carlotta (Minnie Driver) in the film version of The Phantom of the Opera. After well over a century of entertaining audiences throughout the Midlands, BMOS continues to thrive. We look forward to the future and to entertaining audiences for the next 100 years…
