Most Improved Group of the Year 2024

Event of the Year 2024

Laurel-Award Winning Director 2024

 

This year’s mainstage is Assassins which will be shown at the Greenwood Theatre in February 2025! Assassins is a revue-style musical with music by Stephen Sondheim that explores the lives and motivations of the 9 individuals across history who have attempted to assassinate a sitting US president. The show spans across time periods, locations, and music styles. 

Don’t be fooled by the subject matter; Assassins is a dark comedy spanning only an hour and a half long, packed with Sondheim’s best songs, staging that will give you chills, a twisted “found family” cast of characters, punchy monologues, and choreography that dictates over 5 different time periods and dance styles. Referred to as “The most controversial musical,” Assassins puts American politics up to a mirror in a mesmerising and challenging way that will have you thinking about the show long after you leave the theatre.

 

Apart from the mainstage, there are plenty of other opportunities to get involved such as through our socials, showcases, outreach and charity performances, 24-hour musicals and collaborations with other societies! At GKTMT we want to show that musical theatre is for everyone! We encourage anyone who wants to get involved, should it be cast, crew, orchestra or production team, to contact us and join GKT Musical Theatre!

A note from this year's mainstage director, Isabella Slyman!

Assassins is our mainstage this year. It’s a Sondheim show with lots of opportunities for singers, actors, and dancers alike. This show is revue-style, so everyone’s got a chance to shine. The show itself is a thought-provoking dark comedy about the 9 individuals who have attempted to assassinate sitting US presidents. Besides the assassins themselves, the show is defined by its small ensemble of narrators, small dance ensemble, and the Americans impacted by the actions of the assassins.
