SOS Presents
Welcome to our website which is full of resources of our shows, new and old, for our members, audience and visitors.
We’ve been proudly producing musical theatre in Southampton since 1924, and have moved with the times from light opera to more modern musicals. We also perform at other events and concerts like Southampton's Music in the City and Carol Singing.
If you like what you see then why not join us!

performance reviews
Critical Acclaim
“Great music, lighting and technical magic…” “Professional standard performances from the entire cast…” “So, so slick, so, so professional and just so, so amazing…” “A funny, joyful, uplifting show! A huge BRAVO to everyone involved…” “5* for direction, costumes, singing and acting…” “Was worth coming from Brighton to see it…”

Legally Blonde Audience 2022
“What a thoroughly enjoyable production [The Wind in the Willows]…sung and played with energy and enthusiasm by an excellent cast…. All the ensemble pieces featured dance routines which would have graced any West End stage”

Sardines Magazine
“Taking a trip down to the river or a walk through the woods is always an enjoyable experience, and this was exactly what SOS offered its audience last night as they staged their production of Wind In The Willows. A top quality, entertaining evening out, with strong vocals, slick choreography, creative sets and detailed costumes – what is not to like!”

Scene One Plus
“The finale of Act 1 [Sister Act] was a stand out, really and thoroughly enjoyed by all those sat around me too. Quite rafter uplifting.”
