Blue Mountains Musical Society was founded by music lovers Heather Gwilliam, Jenny Edwards, Barry McNicol, and pianist Phyllis Huthnance, who all agreed that a musical society would be just the place for stage folk and musos alike to get together and produce good music and lasting friendships. A public meeting was called and with an enthusiastic group of 45 people the very first BMMS production of Trial by Jury at Springwood Uniting Church was in full swing. For just $3 a ticket the audience packed into the church hall. So positive was the response that members decided to go full steam ahead and form a committee. This all happened in 1981! Not that long ago really, when one considers how far BMMS has come since those early days. Since 1981 BMMS has been rehearsing and proudly presenting operetta, musical comedy, concerts and youth programs at the Springwood Civic Centre. In 2012, BMMS performed their last musical in the centre before it closed for renovations, allowing BMMS the opportunity to travel to new audiences at new venues, performing Sweeney Todd in 2013 at the Q Theatre, Monty Python’s Spamalot at the EVAN Theatre Penrith Panthers in June 2014, CATS at The Lighthouse Theatre, Orchard Hills in November 2014 and back for one last show at EVAN Theatre with The Who’s Tommy in May 2015. We returned to the Blue Mountains Theatre and Community Hub, previously known as the Springwood Civic Centre in late 2015 with The Phantom of the Opera. In 2025, BMMS will be staging a new production of the Broadway smash hit, Come From Away, in May, followed by Legally Blonde in October.
