MUSICAL
THEATER HERITAGE
If you like
musicals - you'll love MTH!
We are a professional
theater company whose concert-style productions bring alive
the American Musical like never before (read below). The
quality of the performers are top-rate, and the sound is outstanding.
We
have comfortable, oversized, movie theater-style seats where
you can enjoy a show up-close and from no further than 7 rows
from the stage. Audiences
love it! And
we have a full bar and FREE parking. We
are confident that you will enjoy your visit...so much that
you will happily refer MTH to your friends!
Money-Back
Guarantee!
We are very confident you will love what we do. IF you
are hesitant, just try us just ONE time
and if you are not completely satisfied, we'll give you your
money back!
The
Power of Concert-Style
It's very similar to what you
might have seen on PBS these past few years (i.e. Les Miserables,
Carousel, Company, South Pacific, Candide). You get the
complete show, but the orchestra is on stage and the actors
stand at studio microphones and perform facing out towards YOU
in the audience (just like a concert!). It makes for a
powerful experience, and you will understand and enjoy the story
& music like never before!

Our Radio Show
MTH
actually began with the "A
Night on the Town" Radio Series", a weekly radio
show about the history of the American Musical, written and hosted
by George
Harter. In 1998 George created MTH as a 501c3 so as to
syndicate the program on a national level and to entertain and
enlighten new generations with the legacy of this American art
form known as Musical Comedy.
Today
the show is sponsored by the historic Algonquin
Hotel in New York City, and is heard in Dallas, Atlanta,
South Florida and on New York Public Radio. Locally, "A Night
on the Town" is heard on KPR,
at 91.5 FM, Saturday nights at 9pm. The program is also
available online on the "A
Night on the Town" website.
New
York, New York!
Several
times a year, MTH
takes theater fans to New York for organized trips that
include
Broadway shows, fine dining, four nights at the Algonquin Hotel
and fascinating insights into
the history of Broadway and the American Musical.
