Next summer Maine State Music Theatre (MSMT) will again present four main stage shows, to which it has obtained exclusive regional rights. Season ticket subscriptions are the best way to ensure seats for all four shows, as MSMT anticipates record-breaking attendance.

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. Marc Robin, director of this year’s “The Music Man” and “Young Frankenstein” will direct.

In the second slot of the season, MSMT presents “EVITA,” opening on June 29, 2016. It has been 20 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, on July 20, 2016, at the height of the summer, the iconic “Fiddler On The Roof” returns to the Pickard stage. Beloved songs such as "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were A Rich Man" and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" make “Fiddler” the perfect mix of humor and heart.

Summer 2016 closes out with a bang as the Broadway sensation “Mamma Mia!” takes the stage.

MSMT is one of three theaters 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/or gift certificates, visit www.msmt.org or call the box office at 207-725-8769.
