Lighting Design for Musicals

Will loves lighting musicals, and has had the pleasure of lighting professional and educational environments.

Most recently, he has worked on Hansel & Grettel with Creation Theatre at The North Wall Arts Centre, and Mice Pies, a new musical written by Peter Moreton which premiered at Applecart Arts in 2024.

Recent work has also included several plays with songs, such as The Brief Life and Mysterious Death of Boris III, King of Bulgaria with Out of the Forest Theatre in New York, in London and on tour across the UK. He also lit Out of the Forest’s previous shows Bury the Hatchet (due to return in 2025) and Call Me Fury.

In educational settings, Will has lit countless well-known titles such as Oliver, Legally Blonde, Anything Goes, Little Shop of Horrors, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Guys and Dolls twice!

Below are some key examples of Will’s work in lighting musicals.
