Malcolm Sircom
Malcolm read music at Cambridge University before entering the theatre as a Musical Director. Probably the highlight of his career was a 4 year world tour of the 'Rocky Horror Show'. At the same time he honed in his writing skills with a series of Pantomimes and Children's musicals, which were performed professionally all over the country including his hit 'Mr Men Musical' in London's West End.He started writing schools musicals with 'Ebenezer', which coincided with the launching of Musicline. Since then his many follow-ups have been so successful worldwide that they enabled him to retire from the theatre to concentrate solely on this aspect of his talents.
His major hobbies were bridge, cricket, and writing musicals for schools! People have often asked him if he is a teacher, as his shows have such a rapport with kids. He answered no - just an entertainer pure and simple, backed by the experience of years in the professional theatre.
