The Arts has been a launchpad for many famous names in entertainment and dozens of productions which have gone on to have major West End, Broadway and touring success, becoming part of the fabric of commercial theatre and musical theatre worldwide. The company is run by CEO Louis Hartshorn and Chief Creative Officer Brian Hook, who are joined by senior managers Andrew Mills and Lizzie Scott.
