He directed the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester and staged Once Upon a Time – The Life of Hans Christian Andersen, a live concert in Copenhagen to mark the author’s bicentenary. He starred as Miss Hannigan in the UK touring production of Annie in 2015 and 2018 and also the West End in 2017 at Piccadilly Theatre.
In 2017 he directed and choreographed UK tour of Son of a Preacher Man, a new musical featuring the music of Dusty Springfield.

The tour was due to be in Spring 2020 but due to Covid19 being resuled for Spring 2021, it has been pushed back to September 2021. He has a reputation for being the harshest of the judges and is often the recipient of booing from the audience for his apparent bias towards Emma Bunton in the fourth series of the competition.
