Cincinnati Music Theatre caps its 2023-2024 60th Anniversary season with an original musical revue celebrating the troupe’s first six decades in song.
Our spring Studio Series offering On With The Show! distills CMT history – from its inaugural production of The Most Happy Fella in 1963 through the 2024 mainstage production of Children of Eden – into a 90-minute blast of nostalgia. Music is our middle name, so you can bet you’ll hear some of the most-beloved tunes from the CMT songbook, as well as a few under-the-radar favorites.
This production staff is committed to bringing together a diverse group of people.
We encourage performers of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexualities, abilities, body types, and ages to audition. To sign-up for auditions and more information, click the link below! https://www.signupgenius.com/…/10C0945A8AE22ABF5C52…
