About HKUST Community Musical

The HKUST Musical tradition goes way back with a joyful collective memory, for which there is always a special place in the hearts of many music and drama enthusiasts in the University Community. It brings together extraordinary talents to create an exceptional Broadway musical experience.

From our first production in 2009, The Wedding Singer (Hong Kong premiere), to recent hits like Wonderful Town and Singin' in the Rain, musicals have taken audiences on unforgettable journeys. Exploring the crazy world of business in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and traveling back in time to the '50s with Grease, each show has left us laughing, singing, and dancing in delight.

In 2021, HKUST unveiled the stunning Shaw Auditorium—a cutting-edge venue that has redefined the performing arts landscape on campus. With this exciting development, the Shaw Auditorium Unit proudly brought back the musical The Music Man in March 2024 and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee in March 2025, extending its reach to the broader community. Building on this success, the Shaw Auditorium Unit will continue to uphold the legacy of the musical tradition for the HKUST Community.

This year, the Shaw Auditorium Unit will present Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel, an award-winning musical. Winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for the best Musical and the Tony Award for the Best Revival of a Musical. It features the poignant bonding of complex characters, emotionally vibrant music, and innovative staging, promising an unforgettable theatrical experience that explores themes of love, loss, and redemption for all.

關於科大音樂劇

香港科技大學音樂劇自誕生以來，憑藉著歡樂的氛圍和出色的製作讓觀眾記憶猶新，並在科大音樂及戲劇愛好者的心中佔一席位。

從2009年的第一部作品《The Wedding Singer》（香港首演），直至近年的《Wonderful Town》以及《Singin' in the Rain》，科大音樂劇匯聚學生、教職員和校友的才華於一堂，將百老匯的魅力帶到校園：我們一起在《How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying》中探索了瘋狂且殘酷的商業世界，亦曾經回到五十年代與《Grease》一同搖滾，每場演出都為觀眾帶來愉悅的體驗，讓觀眾親歷其境。

2021年，科大啟用了逸夫演藝中心，這座嶄新且設備先進的演出場地為校園表演藝術帶來了全新的面貌。逸夫演藝中心於2024年3月重新呈獻經典音樂劇《The Music Man》，並於2025年3月帶來《The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee》，進一步將舞台延伸至更廣泛的社區。秉承這份成功與傳承，逸夫演藝中心團隊將繼續延續科大音樂劇的光榮傳統，為科大社群帶來更多精彩的音樂劇體驗。

今年，科大音樂劇2026將呈現《Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel》於舞台。此劇曾榮獲紐約戲劇評論人協會獎最佳音樂劇及美國東尼獎最佳音樂劇復排獎。它展現了複雜角色間深刻的情感聯繫、充滿感染力的音樂，以及創新的舞台設計，承諾為所有觀眾帶來一場難忘的劇場體驗，探索愛情、失落與救贖的主題。
