Are you ready for a debut musical theatre event?
7th-8th August 2027
NEC Birmingham
The 1st (and only) Midlands musical theatre fan celebration!
Oh So Stagey is the brand new musical theatre fan fest brought to you by the same team behind the fan-favourite Musical Theatre Market.
Alexandra (Musical Theatre Pins, Co-founder Musical Theatre Market) and Dore (Co-founder Musical Theatre Market) wanted to create a space for every theatre kid to find their people, fill their bags, enjoy a little cosplay or maybe learn a new skill.
Because loving musical theatre shouldn't just happen in the dark of an auditorium. It should be loud, joyful, communal and unapologetically stagey.
