The University\u2019s Musical Theatre Societ<\/strong>y returns to Colyer-Fergusson next week, with an epic showcase full of songs\u00a0which explore the struggle between our need to be part of the pack and yet also to follow our dreams.<\/p>\n

\"mts_leader_poster\"Follow The Leader<\/em>\u00a0is a collection of powerful and revealing songs that prove that the quest for power may not always run the safest path, explored in music from Hamilton, Kinky Boots, Chicago, RENT<\/em> and others.<\/p>\n
