Master of the House – Michael Coveney (Hardback / Hard Cover)

The Theatres of Cameron Mackintosh

Winner of the Architectural Book Awards 2020 Architectural Reference Book of the Year.

Cameron Mackintosh is Londons West Ends leading theatrical producer of musicals such as Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. He is also a significant theatre owner and has completed a two-decade campaign of refurbishment and rebuilding of eight London theatres, at his own personal cost of GBP250m, that has set the tempo for maintaining one of Britains greatest cultural heritages for the next century, the West End theatre in the heart of the nations artistic life. Master of the House charts the histories of these eight iconic London buildings; their origins, their stories, the iconic shows and productions, the stars and the glamour. Lavishly illustrated with images from the Delfont Mackintosh archive, the book also contains original architect plans and drawings, specially-commissioned photographs of the refurbishment, show posters and other theatre ephemera, and many sweeping panoramas of the exquisitely finished spaces.
