Formed in 1995 by directors Martin
Dodd and Peter
Frosdick UK Productions Ltd have established themselves
as one of Britains foremost producers of musicals, pantomime
and dance shows. The company has become renowned for its high
production values in all genres.
UK Productions has so far produced ten major
musicals on seventeen national tours and in the West End: Barnum,
42nd Street, Pirates
of Penzance, Carousel,
Anything Goes, Seven
Brides for Seven Brothers, Fiddler
on the Roof, Jekyll
and Hyde, Disney's Beauty and the
Beast and South Pacific, starring such artists as Paul Nicholas, Gemma Craven,
Dave Willetts, Darren Day, Sam Kane, Andrew O’Connor,
Jonathon Morris, Ruth Madoc and James Smillie.
UK Productions have a passion for pantomime,
and produce shows for a number of theatres nation wide. They
apply the same high standards to these productions as they
do to their touring musicals. Whether large or small they
all receive the UK Productions treatment of all-star casts
in traditional shows backed by lavish sets and costumes.
Working closely with Wayne Sleep OBE UK
Productions have produced three original dance shows, World
of Classical Ballet, Aspects
of Dance, and Ready
Steady Dance, celebrating many different styles of dance
and introducing new performers and choreographers alongside
seasoned and respected guest artists. These shows have all
completed nation wide tours.
UK Productions have produced a number of
outdoor events and are responsible for the creation and production
of The Stansted Park Proms, an annual
two-day open-air concert playing to up to 10,000 people a
night in the grounds of Stansted House, a stately home in
the heart of Hampshire. The concerts feature live orchestras
and bands and each evening culminates in our now legendary
fantastic fireworks finales.
Press quotes for their shows such as “The
most successful production of this musical I have ever seen”
Edinburgh Evening News, “Spectacle is the name of the
game in this show” Sunday Express, “I doubt very
much whether this current touring production could be bettered.”
Birmingham Post and “Great dancing, fabulous costumes-altogether
an irresistible package” The Scotsman, sum up the quality
which the company apply to all of their work.
