HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Founded in 1921, Leamington and Warwick Operatic Society specialised for many years in presenting early English operettas and the works of Gilbert & Sullivan.

By the start of the 1960s, with shows by the likes of Irving Berlin and Rodgers & Hammerstein becoming available for amateur companies to perform, and audiences being thrilled by the new Broadway musicals, there came a need for the Society to evolve. As the early shows went out of fashion and the new ones came in, the audiences began to change.

Over the past forty years the Society has staged an increasingly wide variety of musical shows, and it became apparent that the label ‘Operatic Society’ did not reflect the type of shows being staged. It was therefore proposed at the Society’s 2002 AGM, and agreed at the 2003 AGM, that its name be changed to the Leamington & Warwick Musical Society.
