BRUNSWICK

Maine State Music Theatre has announced their highly-anticipated 2016 season line up. Next summer the theatre will again present four main stage shows, to which they have obtained exclusive regional rights.

The 2016 season fires up on June 8, 2016, with the regional premiere of “Ghost: The Musical.” Adapted from the hit 1990 film, “Ghost” follows Sam and Molly, a young couple whose connection takes a shocking turn after Sam’s untimely death. “Ghost” will be directed by Marc Robin, director of this year’s “The Music Man” and “Young Frankenstein.”

In the second slot of the season, MSMT presents “Evita,” opening on June 29, 2016. It has been twenty years since the story of Argentina’s controversial First Lady, with memorable songs such as “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” and “On this Night of a Thousand Stars,” has appeared on the Pickard Stage.

After a 21-year absence and at the height of the summer, July 20, 2016, opens Maine State Music Theatre’s production of the iconic “Fiddler on the Roof.” Beloved songs such as “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” and “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” make “Fiddler” the perfect mix of humor and heart.

Finally, summer 2016 closes out with a bang — as the Broadway sensation “Mamma Mia!” takes the stage in Brunswick. MSMT is one of three theatres in the nation with exclusive rights to ABBA’s smash-hit musical, fresh off of Broadway. This tale full of sun and fun unfolds on a Greek island paradise when, on the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.

All of MSMT’s performances take place at the Pickard Theater on the campus of Bowdoin College located at 1 Bath Road in Brunswick. For more information, and to buy season subscriptions and gift certificates for the 2016 season, please visit www.msmt.org or call the Box Office at (207) 725-8769.
