Musical Theatre Salisbury is a community theatre group in Salisbury, England. It was founded in 1908. In 2011, the company changed its name from Salisbury Amateur Operatic Society to better to reflect their major activity, which is to produce two fully staged and costumed musical theatre shows per year in Salisbury. Their repertoire varies from classic Broadway shows to contemporary musicals, as well as the Gilbert and Sullivan operas and occasional operettas.
