Theatre Productions
Blue Box Entertainment has general managed plays, musicals and comedy in the West End, in the regions, at the Edinburgh Festival and in Europe for clients in the commercial, subsidised and not-for-profit sectors. We have been particular expertise in developing and enhancing work from smaller stages and placing it in the large commercial theatres in London and the regions.
Our work has won four Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical for Jerry Springer - The Opera, which also won Best Musical awards from the Evening Standard Awards, the Critics Circle Awards and the WhastonStage.com Theatregoer's Choice Awards. In 2007 Eurobeat - almost Eurovision won the inaugural Best Musical Award at the Edinburgh Festival.
