Birmingham Hippodrome has announced it will be home to the first in-house musical theatre department at a UK venue to develop new musicals in the West Midlands.

The new department will be led by a Head of New Musical Theatre, who will grow a specialist team and collaborate with creatives and partners to create new production opportunities in Birmingham and beyond. Recruitment for this pivotal new role is open now.

The dedicated department will commission, develop and produce new musicals as part of the Hippodrome鈥檚 core business, alongside offering skills development, employment, and a new Writers Lab, supporting more sustainable career pathways in musical theatre.

To tell us a little more about the project we are joined by Jon Gilchrist, Artistic Director and CEO of Birmingham Hippodrome.
