  • About me

    I was employed as Music Manager for the National Theatre from 2000-2010 working on the award winning musicals My Fair Lady, South Pacific, Anything Goes, Jerry Springer The Opera, Caroline or Change, and a vast repertoire of plays including the world premieres of The History Boys and War Horse.

    I joined the Royal Shakespeare Company as Music Manager from 2010-2011 managing another varied repertoire that included the World Premiere of the multi-award winning Matilda The Musical. I continue to act as the Orchestral Manager for Matilda in the West End.

    I spent the summer of 2012 contracting musicians for Matthew Bourne’s revival of ‘Play Without Words’ at Sadler’s Wells / on tour, and 2013-14 working as Orchestral Manager on the World Premiere of From Here To Eternity at the Shaftesbury Theatre.

    Other engagements have included contracting on-screen musicians for Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood, and live musicians for Stephen Fry’s version of Cinderella and Sam Mendes’s three year Bridge Project at The Old Vic Theatre.
