Back to the Future, the musical 

Resident Director, Adelphi Theatre west end, 2021 - 2023

I began my adventure with Back to the Future the Musical in July 2021, where I joined the team on the rehearsals for the West End transfer after it's successful, original run in Manchester. I worked with the show, just shy of 2 years, working closely with the Director, Associate Director and Resident team.

Other than working in-house to maintain the artistic integrity of the show, rehearse covers and work across cast-changes and castings. I worked on various press events such as our Oliver Awards Performance (2022),  Magic at the Musicals, Rise Up with the Arts, Dancing on Ice and other in-house press lead by DeWytnters.

I also worked very closely with A Relaxed Company in creating Back to the Future the Musicals' first ever relaxed performance. The day was a huge success and was publicised by The One Show and provided the show with a blue-print for all subsequent and future Relaxed shows.
