Home - Musical Theatre Network

Musical Theatre Network (MTN) is a strategic, sector development organisation focused on the professional development and staging of new UK musicals.

We work in partnership with our members – a national network of venues, producers, colleges, theatre companies, directors, licensing houses, organisations and individuals developing or staging new musicals. MTN works to strengthen and diversify the new musical theatre sector nationwide, and so support development of the artform.
