About Cameron Mackintosh Ltd

Cameron Mackintosh has been working in the theatre for almost 60 years and is the producer of several of the most legendary musicals of all time: Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera and Cats, three of the world's longest running, alongside the perennial Miss Saigon, Mary Poppins (co-produced with Disney), Little Shop of Horrors, and Hamilton in the UK, which he co-produces with Jeffrey Seller. With Stephen Sondheim, Cameron has created three musical revues: Side by Side by Sondheim, Putting it Together and most recently the hugely acclaimed Old Friends, starring Broadway legends Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga in the West End and on Broadway.



Cameron and Director Matthew Bourne's newly reimagined production of Oliver! is playing to sellout audiences and rave reviews in the West End.



To celebrate Les Miserables' world record breaking continuous run of over 40 years, the Arena Spectacular Concert version of Les Miserables is playing an extensive World Tour (a first for any musical on this scale) selling out across the UK with a stellar cast of Les Mis alumni. Previous filmed concerts, at the Royal Albert Hall, the O2 Arena and the Gielgud Theatre, are still continually screened on television and in cinemas throughout the world, alongside Cameron's spectacular 25th Anniversary Concert of The Phantom of the Opera, also at the Royal Albert Hall.



In 2012, alongside Working Title Films and Universal, Cameron produced the hugely successful Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA award-winning film adaptation of Les Miserables, which is one of the most successful movies ever of an original stage musical. To celebrate over 10 years since its release, the movie has been remixed and re-released in full Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision in selected cinemas around the world, as well as a new home vision 4K Blu-ray disc and iTunes download version of the film.



Cameron owns and operates eight historic London theatres, which have all been spectacularly rebuilt and refurbished for the 21st century. They house many of London's most successful hits. The Sondheim, formerly known as the Queen's, has been renamed in honour of Cameron's great friend, theatrical legend Stephen Sondheim. Music Theatre International, one of the world's oldest and largest libraries of secondary rights of many of the greatest musicals ever written, has been one of Cameron's companies for over 30 years. MTI represents and champions both exciting new contemporary writers as well as the great classics and proudly represents the second-class rights for Disney Theatrical.



In 1990, Cameron inaugurated the Chair of Contemporary Theatre at St Catherine's College in Oxford University, with Stephen Sondheim as his visiting professor. The current Professor is world-renowned director, Gregory Doran. Music Theatre International, one of the world's oldest and largest libraries of secondary rights 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 in June 2023, was awarded the Freedom of the City of London. In 2014, he was the first British producer ever to be elected to Broadway's Theater Hall of Fame.
