Drew McOnie

Shows That Shaped Me

In this week's episode we speak with Drew McOnie, one of the most in-demand director-choreographers in British theatre. McOnie’s choreography credits include Bugsy Malone, Hairspray, Jesus Christ Superstar and In the Heights – for which he won the 2016 Olivier Award for Best Choreography. As both director and choreographer, his credits include The Wild Party at The Other Palace, On the Town at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre and Strictly Ballroom, which opened at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2016 and transfers to the West End this month. In October he makes his Broadway debut at the helm of Jack Thorne’s new musical take on King Kong.
