Hey Mr Producer! Maria Lovelady & Michael Alan-Bailey are to talking to you sir.

This week Michael Harrison, West End and Broadway producer and the chief executive of Crossroads pantomimes shares with us his great passion for variety theatre.

Michael takes us through his childhood in the stalls to being one of the men behind some of the world’s greatest theatrical successes. In 2022 he, along with Andrew Lloyd Webber set up Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals, producing new shows as well as new productions of Lloyd Webbers work, notably the smash hit version of Sunset Boulevard with Nicole Scherzinger which will soon transfer to Broadway.  Starlight Express is currently dazzling audiences once again and Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond is due to open in December.

Michael’s other producing credits include Gypsy, Hello Dolly, The Drifters Girl, War Horse, The Wizard of Oz, Young Frankenstein, The Bodyguard and as the chief executive of Crossroads some of the UKs biggest pantomimes including the world renowned London Palladium Panto, a theatre he is lucky enough to call home.

We are proud to share our chat with Michael, who brings true theatrical magic to Twice Nightly.
