Helsinki City Theatre and the Finnish National Theatre are jointly organising the Helsinki Metropolitan Area Young Stage local festival on 25.-27.4.2024 at HKT's studio in Pasila and the National Theatre's Small Stage. Over the course of three days, a total of 13 performances of young groups' interpretations of the plays will be performed: Pauliina Feodoroff's The Colonial Nation, Marko Järvikallas' The Cherry Bomb, Arda Salaniemi's (formerly Palomaanation). Yildirim) On Us, Flies and Christoffer Mellgren's Cake to Share (in Finnish. Sinna Virtanen).

In autumn 2024, the Helsinki City Theatre will premiere Moulin Rouge! The Musical, My Brother the Lionheart, The Surprise Guest, The Time of Joy, Silence and The Woman – Always at the Best Age. Lilla Teatern's autumn premieres include Dancer in the Dark and Århundradets kärlekssaga. The stage premiere of the contemporary performance is Whatever Love Means.

The Moulin Rouge! The roles of the musical are played by top names in Finnish musical theatre, many of whom are familiar from HKT's previous productions. The work has got audiences moving, and six months before the premiere, more than 45,000 tickets have been sold and reserved.

Based on Katri Kirkkopelto's popular children's book of the same name, Molli's Evening Hepuli is a fun and participatory performance about a topic that is very familiar to families with children - sleeping. The performance will be completed as part of the Culture Godchildren project and it will premiere on 6 March in the foyer of the small stage.

The Arena stage, which has been converted into a retirement home for actors, will feature the best hits of the past decades when the musical comedy Forever Young premieres on 7 March. The play, written by Erik Gedeon from Switzerland, is directed by Heikki Sankari and the roles are played by actors familiar from HKT's musicals.

In the spring of 2024, the stage of Helsinki City Theatre's Contemporary Performance will feature two fascinating works: Empty Stage, which combines stage scenes and musical performances, and the surprising and anarchic speech performance The Beginning, the Middle, the End. The stage, which encourages dialogue between the arts, brings contemporary performances into the theatre's repertoire.
