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.

Our 61st Mainstage Season leaps off the screen & page and onto the stage in Roald Dahl’s MATILDA the Musical. Featuring a large cast of children and adults, ‘Matilda the Musical’ is a triumphant and bold new musical that follows Matilda Wormwood, a girl with the gift of telekinesis, who loves reading more than anything, as she follows her heart on a journey we will never forget.
Children of Eden is a show largely about parenthood. About what we bring to and leave to the next generation. About all of the hopes and dreams we try to gift them, and what happens when they don’t react to those legacies in the way we expect. About anger, and disappointment, and loss. But it is also about hope. About connection. About forgiveness. And that so often the hardest part of love is letting go.
