"Tread the boards of eight of London’s auditoriums in this illuminating celebration of London's theatres ready for delivering another 100 years of magic for their audiences."
The King of Theatre Cameron Mackintosh best known for productions like Cats, Les Mis, Phantom and Miss Saigon is celebrated in this beautiful hardback book.
Ever since he was 8, Cameron Mackintosh dreamed of being a theatre producer. And boy has he accomplished that in spades. What he didn’t visualise was owning eight of London’s most beautiful historic theatres.
In the foreword by the man himself we hear how he came to be the master of resurgence, how after almost 100 years of constant wear and tear the theatres were shabby. Eight refurbs later and £250 million lighter, post renovation they are more beautiful than they ever were, more comfortable and without any class barriers.
And we see them in all their glory via the stunning high glass photography in this stunning tome. Master of the House dedicates a chapter to each of the theatres in turn.
It’s an illuminating behind the scenes hark back to the grand old days of theatre including the posters that caught the eyes of theatre goers galore. It’s a walkthrough of every detail and I adored it.
A treat for any theatre lover, this will make you love them even more and I guarantee you’ll have bought your next show before you turn the final page. I booked two!
