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. I returned in January 2025 to lead on Castings in Australia for the Australian tour as Associate Director. 

In regards to my time as Resident in the west end, 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.
