The wait is over: this year’s Mini Musical Festival shows are here! Minis is a highlight of the MUMS calendar, giving members the opportunity to take the lead, unleash their creativity, and bring their own productions to life. We are thrilled to announce this year’s incredible line-up, and it’s shaping up to be a season full of talent, innovation, and unforgettable theatre. 


Moulin Rouge 

"The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." 

Under the guidance of the wonderful Annie Bolger (Co-Director & Choreographer) and the talented Emma Kerr (Co-Director & Musical Director), Moulin Rouge promises all the glamour, drama, and energy of Baz Luhrmann’s iconic jukebox musical. Expect dazzling choreography, powerhouse vocals, and show-stopping numbers that will leave audiences breathless. Annie and Emma’s combined vision ensures a production bursting with spectacle, passion, and heart. 


Ride the Cyclone 

"Life is a ride, and then you die." 

A quirky, darkly comic musical with a big heart, Ride the Cyclone is sure to take audiences on a journey like no other. The inventive Lysander Elamin (Co-Director & Choreographer) and the brilliant Mik Kozakiewicz (Co-Director & Musical Director) are bringing their unique flair to this production, balancing sharp humour with hauntingly beautiful music. With their creativity at the helm, this show promises to be a thrilling, thought-provoking, and wholly entertaining ride. 


Heathers 

"Well, f*** me gently with a chainsaw." 

Sharp, satirical, and unapologetically bold, Heathers is a cult classic that blends biting humour with killer tunes. Directed by the visionary Lenny Nyoike, alongside John Brennan (Co-Musical Director) and the ever-creative Caoimhe Callan (Choreographer), this production is set to deliver all the attitude, edge, and chaos that Westerburg High demands. The team’s combined experience and vision ensures a show that will be as thrilling and audacious as the iconic musical itself. 


Carrie 

"They’re all gonna laugh at you!" 

One of the most iconic horror stories of all time gets a musical twist in Carrie. With the incredible Danni Corcoran (Director & Choreographer) and the gifted Lauren McLoughlin ( Musical Director), this production promises chilling storytelling paired with powerful vocals and dynamic movement. Their creative collaboration will bring the suspense, drama, and intensity of this classic story to the stage, making it a production audiences won’t forget.
