Howard Jacques co-wrote the book for TOP HAT at the Aldwych Theatre which was nominated for seven Laurence Olivier Awards winning three including Best New Musical 2013 as well as the Evening Standard Award for Best Night Out. It played in the West End for almost two years and has enjoyed two major national tours, two productions in Japan and a production in Sweden.
He conceived and wrote SOMETHING WONDERFUL (Savoy Theatre and tour) and is currently developing and co-writing the lyrics for a new musical production of JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS.
He was delighted to have been involved in turning Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks' picture book into a live version for the stage which is playing at the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in summer 2017.
This uplifting and entertaining romantic comedy, featuring 14 glorious songs by Irving Berlin, celebrates 1930s music and romance with elegance and panache.
