“By the time "Pretty Woman: The Musical" arrived in London we'd already mounted successful productions in New York and Hamburg.  In each location we were blessed with a superb cast, orchestra and Musical Director.  In other words, big shoes to fill.  

The West End is a world-renowned musical theatre mecca, so when my flight touched down at Heathrow my expectations were high.  Imagine my delight at the first London rehearsal to discover that my expectations were about to be exceeded!  The cast and orchestra were outstanding, plus I immediately knew I was in good hands with the Musical Director. Gareth was confident, qualified, and very much in charge of the situation, but also open and collaborative, which made my job that much easier.   

I look forward to the return of "Pretty Woman: The Musical", post-pandemic, and the renewal of my collaboration with Gareth.”
