MMT returns to LUSH Lounge & Theater this fall with HEAD OVER HEELS– a bold, glittering, and gloriously irreverent celebration of love, set to the electrifying music of the iconic 1980s all-female rock band the Go-Go’s. Inspired by a 16th-century English poem, and featuring a book by Jeff Whitty adapted by James Magruder, this wildly entertaining romp follows a royal family on a madcap quest to save their kingdom from extinction — only to discover that the key to its survival lies within their own hearts. Bursting with hits like “We Got the Beat” and “Vacation,” this joyfully unrestrained production celebrates love in all its forms and delivers the irresistible message that “Heaven is a Place on Earth.” HEAD OVER HEELS will be directed by Kari Steinbach, and features choreography by Michael Terrell Brown and music direction by Mary Cay Stone.

A beloved literary classic comes to life in a thrilling, intimate staging in MMT’s spring 2027 production of JANE EYRE: THE MUSICAL. Featuring a book by John Caird and a soaring score by MMT favorite Paul Gordon (Daddy Long Legs, Analog & Vinyl), this moving story of one woman’s resilience and independence will be brought to life in the historic chapel at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis. Marking MMT’s return to site-specific work, the production invites audiences into a uniquely immersive experience shaped by its intimate, atmospheric setting. MMT presented the area premiere of JANE EYRE in 2005 and is now proud to present the area premiere of a newly revised version that further illuminates the novel’s vivid characters and sweeping romance. JANE EYRE will be directed by Amanda Weis and feature music direction by Chantalle Falconer.
