Kenny Wax Productions produced Bugsy Malone, currently on tour
and at Alexandra Palace Theatre for Christmas.

The speakers will cover the following points,
then there will be a Q&A session:

1. How he manages his own company 'Kenny Wax Productions'.

2. How he shepherded the theatre industry through 18 months of lock down and the cancellation of all of his productions in the UK and around the world.

3. As Producer of the Olivier award winning TOP HAT based on the Hollywood movie, how he charmed Irving Berlin’s 3 daughters to give him the stage rights which hadn’t been granted in the previous 75 years despite multiple requests.

4. How when things Go Wrong - they can sometimes go very right, an example the hit play 'The Play That Goes Wrong' phenomenon.

5. And how one rushed Friday night dinner might have changed the course of musical theatre history around the world forever.

Kenny Wax Productions sell-out show SIX, which is playing
at the Vaudeville Theatre on the Strand. It is also on Broadway,
two American tours, a UK tour, Australian tour and cruise ships!
