Auditions for our annual Mini Musical Festival.
We are Maynooth University Musical Society! Whether you have been performing onstage for years or you have never heard of musical theatre before, we have a place for you! Not all of our members sing and dance, we welcome members who want to be involved in every aspect of our productions both on and off stage.
We produce several musical theatre shows each year, ranging from competitive and full-length musical productions, to shows that are just for one! We have performed full length musicals such as 'Grease'. 'Rent', 'Spring Awakening', 'All Shook Up', 'Little Shop of Horrors', 'Jesus Christ Superstar', 'Into the Woods' and 'Cats'.
Our 2024 production of 'Cats' earned us 4 national awards at the Association of Irish Musical Societies Awards (AIMS), those being Best Choreography, Best Ensemble (Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser), Best Chorus and 2nd Overall Best Show, as well as one additional nomination, Best Director (Gavin Murphy).
We also compete in the All Ireland Musical Theatre Intervarsities against other universities in Ireland. In 2021, our film adaptation of 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie' won 6 awards including Best Overall Show at the All-Ireland Musical Theatre Intervarsity Competitions. In 2022, our production of 'The Prom' gained us a further 4 awards including Best Musical Number and 2nd Best Overall Show. Our 2023 submission of 'Legally Blonde' obtained an impressive 5 awards including Spirit of Inters, 2nd Best Overall Show and Best Performer (Colleen Doyle). In 2024, our cast and production team of 'Beetlejuice' took home an incredible 6 awards- 2nd Best Overall Show, Spirit of Inters, Best Direction, Best Storytelling, Best Number (That Beautiful Sound) and Best performer (Becky Casley). We are so proud to say that thanks to the extraordinary dedication and efforts from our production teams casts alike, MUMS have managed to obtain the most awards out of all the university societies at Intervarsities for the past 4 years.
Busy timetable? No need to commit to one of our productions, drop into one of our day-to-day events anytime. We run weekly events in the evenings and during the day for our commuting members! These events include open mics, quizzes, tea and chats, team building, film nights and production watch nights, trips away (and abroad), and dance, singing and acting workshops open to everyone. We cannot wait to welcome you to MUMS!!
