Renowned for his musical productions, he had many notable successes including The Wizard of Oz, Sing Brel (twice), You're A Good Man Charlie Brown (twice), War Note, Rodgers A Man On The Great White Way, Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill, Finian's Rainbow and Pippin. Plays included Tom Jones and John Yorath's epic play about the Crystal Palace, The Last Day Of November (staged twice).
He returned to New Zealand in December 1984, where he has continued his interest in musical theatre, staging many shows around the Auckland area, the most recent being Titanic, The Musical at Centrestage Orewa, NZ. In 2009 he will direct Les Miserables for Centrestage.
