Enchanted: Alan Menken's Music for Disney - BBC Proms, Royal Albert Hall - 2026
I grew up watching and listening to The Proms, and so clearly remember the experience of watching The Sondheim Prom back in 2010. To be asked to come and direct the Alan Menken Disney Prom this year for a full house of 6000 people (and broadcast on the BBC this Saturday) was a really special experience.
Immensely grateful for the incredible talent and commitment of our soloists @marishawallace (who also hosted), @luciejones1, @celindeschoenmaker, @soladeinde, @thebenforster and @stewclarke, with @bbcphilharmonic conducted by the brilliant @sarahhicksconductor.
We couldn't have done it without @nymtuk, @adam_haigh90, @emily.s.phillips, @kelvintowsemd, @stephenmhughes and the enormous and formidable Proms and BBC Teams across the Royal Albert Hall, TV, Radio, and everyone else who helped this happen. A night I won't forget.

End of the Rainbow - Soho Walthamstow - 2026
Today was the final show of End of the Rainbow in London at the stunning @sohotheatre Walthamstow. A dream project working with the incomparable @thejinkx who has fearlessly, generously, powerfully led the company, and the best cast one could hope for in @jacobdudman, @filipe.navidad, @freddouble, @joshy_alody and @francescaellis1.
Every night the response from the audience was beyond what we could have ever hoped for and reflected the incredible work of the company onstage and offstage.
The happiest process all the way through rehearsals and the run, and supported by amazing team at @lambertjacksonproductions, @phoebenoble__, @itsjamielambert, @elizajackson91 et al.
Immensely grateful to absolutely everyone who was part of this production, Leo Munby, @nickbarstow, @fabianaloise, @jasmineswandesign, @peterquilter2016, @prema__mehta, @audiolondontony, @eilidh_evs, @christinefelkin, @tomlewer, @lilyoconnorsm and too too many others to mention.
A privilege to work with every single one of them.

Jinkx Monsoon - End of the Rainbow - 2026
I have a very old tradition of doing a sketch of the leading actor on a production at the end of the run and getting them to sign it.
Something small to commemorate Jinkx as Judy and the joy of working with the generous, talented, and one of a kind @thejinkx on @endoftherainbowplay.

Global Majority - Bush Theatre - 2026
So excited to be directing the brilliant new play Global Majority by @chrisbfung at @bushtheatre later this year. The Bush is one of the classiest, boldest, coolest theatres in London, and it's a special thing to be part of the first season programmed by Taio Lawson.
Chris' script is an absolute firecracker, and I can't wait to get it in front of audiences.
It's going to be a special one.
