Leading theatre producers Creative Management and Productions (CMP) have been appointed to programme the space and engage a glittering array of celebrated performers, musicians and entertainers that will appeal to a wide range of tastes and ages.

Before setting up CMP, Nick Frankfort and Tobias Round were the producing team at the Donmar Warehouse, where Nick was responsible for programming the internationally celebrated cabaret season, Divas At The Donmar with artists such as Michael Ball, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, Betty Buckley, Philip Quast, Audra McDonald and Kristin Chenoweth. Other work produced in the West End includes Grand Hotel, Guys And Dolls with Ewan Mcgregor, Mary Stuart, Voyage Round My Father, the Tony award-winning Frost Nixon, Swimming With Sharks starring Christian Slater, and the transfer of the Pam Gem's Olivier-nominated Piaf and Three Days Of Rain with James McAvoy. Enquiries may be sent to mail@cmplimited.com.

Steeped in theatre history and with a management pedigree such as this, we are confident that our patrons can look forward once again to a first-class schedule of live entertainment in the Hippodrome.
