This was out second time to the Maine State Music Theatre, and we were again impressed with the quality of the play! The actors, the set, the costuming were all superb. Unfortunately we live too far to attend on a regular basis, otherwise we'd be season ticket holders. The performance was sold out, so recommend you get tickets early.
We saw Chamberlain, A Civil War Musical, and it was terrific. The actors were extremely talented and professional. The theatre itself is very nice with excellent sound and acoustics. Although we were very close, I don't think any seats would be bad since the theatre is fairly small. We have been to several local theatres and this one is by far the best because of its professional actors. Prices are reasonable and worth the little bit extra for quality entertainment. Highly recommend.
Each summer we spend a month at our cottage in nearby Bath. We always get tickets to whatever summer musical is playing at Maine State Music Theatre on the campus of Bowdoin College. In past years we've seen Gypsy, Xanadu and Legally Blonde, to name a few. This summer we saw 7 Brides for & Brothers. In all honesty, it was our least favorite to date, but we still had an enjoyable evening. The theater is lovely with good sound, the ticket prices are inexpensive, the ushers are always friendly and efficient, and the crowds are relaxed. We recommend this to anyone who happens to be lucky enough to spend some time in Mid-Coast Maine in the summer.
We have had a subscription to MSMT for several years. Tonights show: The Buddy Holly Story was one of the best shows we have seen here. We saw the show in London and enjoyed this performance more!!! Good Job MSMT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A professional Equity company performing some of musical theatre's greatest (and some lesser known) shows.
with 4 different shows over the summer MSMT gets outstanding national talent to bring wonderful musical theater to the Brunswick area.
Just saw "7 Brides for 7 Brothers". This group did a great production we all enjoyed. The "Goin Courtin'" number was one of the funniest stage songs I've ever seen. Great talent in the group of performers and a great set design. The theater is small bit the seats were comfortable and provided good views.
The seating was great, very comfortable, and no problem seeing the musical.Helpful folks and friendly atmostphere.
Saturday night, June 7th, was the first weekend performance of MSMT's "The Buddy Holly Story". I was stunned by the hard work, professionalism, and talent that I saw. To say the performance was awesome seems hackneyed, but I had to write this review to let everyone know that if tickets are available you HAVE to see this performance. The cast was magnificent. It made you wanna shout (put your hands up, shout…).
Having visited MSMT for several years on our annual visits to Maine, last night's presentation of the musical was fantastic. The dancing was energetic and the stage sets colorful and energetic. Great acting--we throughly enjoyed our evening!
