The Metropolitan Musical Theatre Company of SA Inc

Coming in May 2027

Ambition, office politics, romance and a whole lot of cheeky corporate scheming collide in the hilarious musical comedy How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying!

Meet J. Pierrepont Finch, a young window cleaner with big dreams and an unlikely plan for success. Armed with a self-help book called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Finch sets out to conquer the corporate world of the World Wide Wicket Company. With a little cunning, a lot of confidence and some very questionable shortcuts, he begins his spectacular climb from the mailroom to the executive suite.

Along the way, Finch must navigate office rivalries, ambitious colleagues, eccentric executives and the ever-complicated world of workplace romance. Will his carefully calculated schemes pay off, or will his meteoric rise come crashing down around him?

Packed with catchy songs, energetic dance numbers, larger-than-life characters and razor-sharp satire, this Tony Award-winning musical takes a delightfully irreverent look at ambition, corporate culture and the lengths people will go to get ahead.

The Classic Love Story in Adelaide!

Audiences loved ‘West Side Story’ which played at The Arts Theatre from October 15th-24th this year.

Here’s what the critics had to say:

TASA: “The performers brought sincerity and commitment to their roles.. Maria’s final scene delivered genuine emotional impact, moving some audience members to tears.”

On Your Markus: “There’s something very important about seeing a diverse company of actors share the stage in West Side Story…In the MET’s production, that diversity adds resonance…certain performers catch your eye immediately, but it’s the collective commitment that gives this production its pulse, with every member of the cast contributing”

Glam Adelaide: ” Visually there is much to love…Jasmin Paukkunen as Anita was a standout, (her) characterisation and intensity never faltered (and she) sounds amazing too.

The talented and hard working cast had an absolute ball bringing this show to life and the resounding opinion at the final curtain was that a truly wonderful group of humans had come together to create this piece. Would you like to be a part of this wonderful camaraderie that is amateur theatre? Why not audition for our next show?

What the critics said...

“This show is stupid! It’s silly, and ridiculous, and in some parts it makes very little sense at all. And that’s as it should be, because this is Monty Python, and it’s hilarious.

It’s been a while since I saw a stage show that was just fun for the sake of fun. No moral message, no mind-bending twist, no intense character arcs… just very funny people performing very funny material for no other reason than to make people laugh. It’s been too long.”
