WE GET LOCKED DOWN, BUT WE GET BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

"Hail Poetry" is a wonderful short section of choral singing from The Pirates Of Penzance.  We may be separated, but we can still get together from some powerful singing.

A huge thank you to Adam Boniface and Matt Oglesby for all the work to make this a reality.

WELCOME

Leeds G&S Society is probably the country's oldest and best Gilbert & Sullivan society based in the heart of Leeds. We perform two main shows per year, with additional concerts throughout. We perform both Musical Theatre and Light Opera. Tickets to our shows can be bought through the City Centre box office or through any member of the society. Find out about our next show, about us and how to join right here.

BEYOND OPERETTA

SMALLER AUTUMN PRODUCTIONS

Following the huge success of Jimmy Robert's I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, Leeds G&S Society branched out into Musical Theatre. Most notably we have performed:

  • Stephen Sondheim's Into The Woods which won LCAG Best Musical Production 2015
  • Rachel Sheinkin's 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
  • Jerry Bock's She Loves Me

In 2018 we performed Closer Than Ever, the rarely performed musical revue by Maltby & Shire.

In 2019 we performed  I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.

LIGHT OPERA

Our history is steeped in Light Opera - in fact we were first known as Hunslet St Silas Choral and Operatic Society in 1909. For 50 years between 1954 and 2014 we mostly performed Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. Out most recent shows include The Pirates of Penzance, Patience and Offenbach's Orpheus In The Underworld in 2016. We have just completed a run of an exciting new production - a brand new Gilbert & Sullivan show written by local writer and director Sarah Case.

Our Next Project Will Be Well Worth Joining

We have had to abandon our plan to perform H.M.S. Pinafore summer 2020.  However, we are undaunted and will perform again.  We will form a new plan for a new production when things are safe to return.

We are always interested to hear from people who might want to join us and join in.  Do get in contact if you would be curious to join our merry band of players.
