Go, Go, Go Buxton!

Following the overwhelming success of Evita (2024) and Jesus Christ Superstar (2025), we are thrilled to announce our 2026 community production is Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The production will run from Wed 29 April – Mon 4 May 2026.

Featuring much loved pop and musical theatre classics, including Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door, There's One More Angel in Heaven and Go, Go, Go Joseph.

“Our community productions have become a highlight of our calendar, showcasing the vivid creativity and talent that we have right here on our doorstep. We are delighted to be bringing Joseph, one of the world’s most beloved family musicals, to the Opera House stage this spring with an exceptionally gifted cast of actors from the High Peak and surrounding area, complemented, as ever, by a professional creative team and orchestra.”
