Joined The Birmingham Hippodrome as New Musical Theatre Producer in December 2024, producing all of the New Musical Theatre Departments work. 

 

Birmingham Hippodrome is set to become the "UK’s national theatre of new musicals" with the creation of a department dedicated to the genre, through which it will commission, develop and produce new work.

​

The in-house new musical theatre department – labelled the first of its kind in the UK – will be overseen by a head of new musical theatre, currently being recruited and expected to take up the post later this year. They will create a team of specialists, dedicated to overseeing the creation of new work.

​

As part of the move, the venue’s 210-seat Patrick Studio will become a year-round home for new musicals, with productions having the potential to move from there to the Hippodrome’s main stage, which has a seating capacity of 1,841, and to partner venues around the UK.
