| biography:
| British impresario. Following a childhood ambition to stage musical shows, he became a stage hand at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, in the early 1960s. He produced his first musical in 1969, and in association with the Arts Council supplied road-show musicals to regional theatres in the 1970s. He agreed to finance Lloyd Webber's Cats, and has subsequently produced, in London and New York City, such musicals as Little Shop of Horrors (1983), Les Misérables (1985), Phantom of the Opera (1986), and Miss Saigon (1989). Later London productions include Moby Dick (1992), Martin Guerre (1996), Oklahoma! (1998), and The Witches of Eastwick (2000). He was knighted in 1996, and received the Variety Club of Great Britain Special Award in 1997. |
