Following his work in Vienna, Neil returns to the Watermill Theatre in Newbury where he will appear in a new production of Spend Spend Spend, and a revival of their very successful production of Hot Mikado where Neil will be required to play the drums, sing, and tap…sometimes all at the same time! Both productions will be directed by Craig Revel Horwood, who is well known not only for his extensive Directing and Choreography work, but also as one of the Judges on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Neil is delighted to be working at Vienna’s English Theatre.
