Thurles Musical Society to mark 75th year with an umissable trip down memory lane

Thurles Musical Society will commence their 75th year celebrations with their much-anticipated cabaret, '75 Years Down Memory Lane' next month.

Following the success of last years cabaret, this will run for two nights in the Premier Hall, Thurles at 8pm on Friday October 3 and Saturday October 4.

It promises to be an occasion to remember, with a repertoire spanning the decades as we take you back through some of TMS’ greatest shows.

The event will serve as the perfect warm-up for the society as they prepare to commence rehearsals for their 2026 production; The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

This will be TMS’ first outing on stage since the very successful Hot Mikado in the Premier Hall back in March, garnering rave reviews and being nominated for Best Technical at the AIMS awards 2025.

This year’s production was a 25 year anniversary in its own right, having previously been staged in 2000, with some of the original cast members still treading the boards!

This was quickly followed by success at the New Ross Choral Festival, where TMS scooped top prize in the Mixed Choir event.

This year’s cabaret Director is Nina Scott, supported by Choreographer Siobhán King, with seventy members, past and present, taking to the stage under the baton of Musical Director Mary Rose McNally.

Some of our well known soloists will take you on a journey down memory lane, as they reprise past performances from memorable shows such as Chess, Ragtime, Brigadoon, The Pajama Game, and many more. 

TMS have also promised a sneak peak at their upcoming production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame!

Their MC for the evenings will be Mary Butler, who will guide you through the musical archives, and might recount some of her own memories of TMS through the years.

Tickets cost €15, and can be purchased from TMS members, at Bookworm, Liberty Square, Thurles, or in Thurles Shopping Centre on Saturday September 27.

They can also be purchased at the door of the Premier Hall on the nights.
