Career Stories

It's undeniable that my ambition to become a theatre producer started in the music department at Moulsford. Trevor Bissell introduced me to the concept of a theatre producer and I haven't looked back since. 

After my time at Moulsford, I spent five years at the Oratory School before I moved to London. In lieu of studying at university, I began working for a number of different producers and theatres absorbing everything I could. At the age of twenty, I was invited to co-produce a celebrated revival of Hammerstein and Kern's Show Boat at the New London Theatre. In doing so, I became the West End's youngest producer. Since then I have produced and generally managed musicals, plays, ballets, concerts and cabarets around the world. 

Most recently, I was working with Sir Cameron Mackintosh on a brand new concert production of The Witches Of Eastwick at the Sondheim Theatre, prior to a national tour in 2023. Before that, I produced The Show Must  Go On! Live At The Palace Theatre, the first major indoor event in the West End since lockdown. The show was streamed by Universal Pictures and subsequently presented on Sky Arts. At the height of the pandemic, I also streamed a number of concerts from the empty stage of the London Coliseum. 

My upcoming projects include an exciting collaboration with Disney Theatrical and the continued worldwide tour of Bat Out Of Hell The Musical.
