Past

 
November, 2002
MRT produced TOMMY, by The Who, Thanksgiving weekend at Marquette's Helfaer Theatre.  There were numerous fine performances, strong dance numbers and a great sounding band.  This was a great start for MRT, and we look forward to building on this excellent beginning.

MRT produced the rock musical revue ROCK ON BROADWAY May 8, 9, 10 and 11 at the historic Turner Hall Ballroom in downtown Milwaukee.  The performance ensemble was highly talented and performed well both as a group and in their individual solos.  The band was solid and professional and achieved the herculean task of learning 26 songs from nine different rock musicals. Furthermore, it was our distinct pleasure to have standing ovations for all of the shows.

MRT produced the hit rock musical HAIR November 20-23 at the Turner Hall Ballroom.  We enjoyed the largest turn out to date, with near capacity audiences each night.  Featuring a black performer in the lead role of Claude, the show was marked by fine lead performances, a spirited Tribe, a solid band, and an enjoyable dance ensemble.

May-June, 2004
MRT performed the rock concept albums 2112, by Rush, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, by Pink Floyd and TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION, by Alan Parsons.  The show featured a seven-piece band, modern dance and great individual and choral vocal performances.  Many audience members felt it was our best production so far.
