Kathleen Marshall

Michael Berkeley's guest is the director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall, winner of three Tony Awards. Her 2021 London production of Anything Goes won ecstatic reviews.

The American director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall has been nominated for nine Tony awards, winning three times for Broadway productions of Wonderful Town, The Pajama Game and Anything Goes. She was the first woman to complete a trio of achievements - directing a play, directing a musical and choreographing a musical on Broadway.

She also won an Olivier Award for her 2021 production of Anything Goes in London. It was the first big musical to open after numerous Covid lockdowns, and received an ecstatic welcome from audiences and critics alike, hungry to get back into a theatre and enjoy a hugely uplifting show. More recently she has directed Irving Berlin鈥檚 Top Hat in Chichester.

Her musical choices include Mozart, Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Duke Ellington.
