CAMERON MACKINTOSH
Producer

for over 50 years has remained the world’s most prolific producer of musicals with dozens of his productions either in performance or in preparation around the world.  As well as co-producing Hamilton in London his record-breaking original productions include Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Miss Saigon, Mary Poppins (co-produced with Disney), Little Shop of Horrors, Side By Side By Sondheim, Tom Foolery and Five Guys Named Moe, all of which continue to be performed regularly around the world.  He is also the producer and owner of Lionel Bart’s great musical Oliver! and both producer and devisor of Sondheim’s Putting It Together and most recently Old Friends. His other modern reinventions of classic musicals include My Fair Lady, Follies, Half A Sixpence and Barnum. In 2013, alongside Working Title Films and Universal, Cameron produced Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA award-winning film adaptation of Les Misérables, which has become one of the most successful movie musicals of all time. The latest sell-out staged concert of Les Misérables produced in London for nearly 250 record breaking performances is now due to go on a World Tour starting in the autumn of 2024. He owns and operates eight historic London theatres which have all been spectacularly rebuilt and refurbished for the 21st Century. The Sondheim, formerly known as the Queen’s, has been rebuilt and renamed in honor of Cameron’s great friend, theatrical legend Stephen Sondheim. 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. In 1990, Cameron inaugurated the Chair of Contemporary Theatre at St. Catherine’s College in Oxford University, with Stephen Sondheim as his first visiting professor, and has since hosted some of the greatest names in the arts of all time. Cameron was knighted in 1996 and is the first British producer to be elected to Broadway’s Theatre Hall of Fame.
