t's Coming Home! never mind the Euro’s, Theatre is coming back to London. We are building 3 MORE west end shows next week! The industry isn't out of the woods yet, but we'll take the positives when they come. Our Pirate Teams will be continuing to build the huge Frozen Musical at the newly refurbished Theatre Royal Drury Lane whilst also working day and night at the London Palladium to service the return of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! To top it all off, we are delighted to return to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for the fit up of Bill Kenwrights production of Heathers the Musical!
Let’s get back to work!
