WELCOME!

The first show of our 2024-2025 season kicks off with OVERTHRONE!  This original rock revue will take audiences through a story in a medieval setting that they think they may already know. A Princess has come of age and the kingdom has gathered to celebrate the bright occasion. Like everything in life, unexpected twists can come at any time, and we quickly find ourselves in the heat of a battle for power over the kingdom and more importantly the happenings within the Royal family’s own dwelling. Epic rock songs propel this story through highs and lows, bringing emotion and new meaning to classic music and lyrics from the past and present in this nonstop, high-energy production. Bring on the Reign!   Click HERE to get your tickets today!

Cincinnati Music Theatre’s 61st Mainstage Season at the Aronoff Center’s Jarson-Kaplan Theater kicks off with Roald Dahl’s MATILDA the Musical.
