Quantcast

Future of the West End Set to be Decided???

Date: 10 July 2009

A group of young and exciting producers are coming together to form partnerships for the future. Rumours tell us that show names are spreading like wildfire, and with some of London's biggest up and coming names eager to be involved.

All are under the age of thirty and have all had experience producing shows both on and off West End. With differing interests, talents and experience, the group is a minefield for finding potential partnerships. It's likely that the future big collaborations in the West End will start here.

Some names include Christopher D. Clegg (MirandaSings at the Ambassadors Theatre), Alex Segal (Well at the Trafalgar Studios and Apollo Theatre), Neil McPherson (Artistic Director of the Finborough Theatre) and Patrick Gracey (Acting General Manager of the Donmar Warehouse).

Already whispers of London transfers of shows such as The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and See What I Wanna See have started, igniting public interest of such an exciting group and the potential they have to shape the future of the West End.
