Camerons As Sir Cameron Mackintosh celebrates a whopping fifty years in the business, he reminisces about his half century of gloriously groundbreaking shows 1969 Anything Goes ‘Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. But it taught me that however many wonderful songs you have in a musical, unless the book is solid it’s much harder to make it work.’ 1973 The Card ‘I heard that the famous American producer Arthur Cantor was in London so I camped outside his hotel room until he would let me play him the demo of “Moving On”. After hearing it, Arthur said, “I’ll pay for the whole show!”’ 1976 Side by Side by Sondheim 1977 Oliver! ‘I got my second job as an acting ASM in the original 1960 production. When the show played in Manchester, I opened the pass door at the end of the performance and Lionel Bart appeared and said, “Hello my son, what do you want to do when you grow up?” and I said, “I’d like to put on musicals like this, Mr Bart.” And the gods were listening!’ 1979 My Fair Lady 1981 Cats ‘Andrew had the idea of using the wonderful expression of the Pollicle Dogs and the Jellicle Cats – which we thought was something extremely clever until Valerie [T S Eliot’s widow] said, “No, no – it came from one of Tom’s nieces who couldn’t say ‘poor little’ or ‘dear little’!” 1983 Abbacadabra ‘Judy Craymer – the great producer of Mamma Mia! – was doing work experience on the show. Five years later she rang me up and said, “I’m working on something – it’s not the same show, but I would love for you to have it in one of your theatres”. And decades later, Mamma Mia! is still running at the Novello!’
Camerons 1983 Oliver! returns with Ron Moody reviving his original role as Fagin. 1985 Les Misérables ‘Some of the press took against the idea of Victor Hugo’s great novel being musicalised and were so incandescently angry that they would write week after week lambasting people who had ignored their reviews. But audiences voted with their feet.’ 1986 The Phantom of the Opera ‘One of the brilliant things Andrew Lloyd Webber did with Phantom was to give it an emotional core that has never been in any of the movies and wasn’t in the original novella. The end of act one has some of the most wonderful music he’s ever written and shows off the great Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman and Steve Barton to perfection.’
