Cameron Mackintosh

Cameron Mackintosh is the world’s most successful theatre producer.

Cameron started producing shows in 1967, and is the most prolific producer of musicals in theatre history.

He has produced three of the world’s longest running musicals, Les Misérables, The Phantom of The Opera and Cats.

His other productions include Miss Saigon, Mary Poppins co-produced with Disney, Oliver!, Side By Side By Sondheim, Little Shop Of Horrors, Song And Dance, Tomfoolery, The Witches Of Eastwick and Five Guys Named Moe.

He has also produced acclaimed new productions of My Fair Lady, Oklahoma and Carousel.

Mackintosh also co-producers Hamilton in London and internationally, and his latest project is Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends.

Other musicals he has produced or co-produced include: Salad Days; The Card; Blondel; Abbacadabra; The Boy Friend; Follies; Five Guys Named Moe; Moby Dick; Putting It Together; Martin Guerre; The Fix; Hey, Mr. Producer!; Swan Lake; The Witches of Eastwick; Just So; Avenue Q; The Sundowe; Hair; Betty Blue Eyes; Barnum; Kinky Boots; Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street; Half a Sixpence.

In 2013, alongside Working Title Films and Universal, Cameron produced the hugely successful Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA award-winning film adaptation of Les Misérables which is one of the most successful movies ever of an original stage musical. The concert version of Les Misérables, which was first staged in 1989 at Domain Park in Sydney, has proved to be just as successful as the staged musical around the world. It has been filmed three times – at the Royal Albert Hall, the O2 Arena and the Gielgud Theatre and is continually re-screened on TV and in cinemas throughout the world and, alongside his spectacular Royal Albert Hall production of The Phantom of the Opera, regularly breaking attendance records for live recording performances of musical theatre.

Through his Delfont Mackintosh Theatres organisation, Mackintosh owns and operates eight historic London theatres, all of which have been substantially rebuilt and refurbished in recent years. They house many of London’s most successful hits. The Sondheim, formerly known as the Queen’s, has been rebuilt and renamed in honour of Cameron’s great friend, theatrical legend Stephen Sondheim who sadly recently passed away.

In 1990, Cameron inaugurated the Chair of Contemporary Theatre at St. Catherine’s College in Oxford University, with Stephen Sondheim as his visiting professor and his current professor is Adjoa Andoh, co-star of Bridgerton.

Music Theatre International, the world’s largest owner of secondary rights of many of the greatest musicals ever written, is now one of Cameron’s companies. Cameron was knighted in the 1996 New Year’s Honours for his services to British theatre and he is the first British producer ever to be elected to Broadway’s Theater Hall of Fame.
