ABOUT US
Creating unforgettable theatre
Here at Bray Productions we are passionate about theatre. We love nothing more than a truly excellent piece of theatre whether it involves a jazz hand or iambic pentameter, Broadway stars or fresh graduates. We are lucky to be working with the best creative minds in the industry, outstanding talent and audiences that love our work.
Since our inception in 2020, Bray Productions has been committed to shining a light on brilliant performers who haven't yet had their big break. Our Untapped cabaret series celebrated its first birthday in November 2021, having showcased 109 fabulous performers. Since then several of our Untapped family have gone on to West End contracts, television guest roles and incredible history-making roles at venues like Regents Park Open Air Theatre and Leeds Playhouse. We are so proud to be a little part of their stories.
In July 2021, our first full-length musical, John & Jen, opened at the Southwark Playhouse to rave reviews. Starring Olivier Award nominated Rachel Tucker and rising star Lewis Cornay, we worked alongside our director Guy Retallack and the writers of John & Jen, Andrew Lippa and Tom Greenwald, to bring the story bang up to date. John & Jen was nominated for 5 OFFIE Awards and Rachel and Lewis won a joint award for Best Leading Performance In A Musical. You can watch John & Jen on BroadwayHD.
A Journey to the Past, celebrating the works of Ahrens and Flaherty will be taking place on 6th June 2022 at the Lyric Theatre in London's West End. Directed by Maria Friedman, she will be reprising her Olivier Award winning performance as Mother in Ragtime, with a rendition of Back To Before. Get your tickets here before they sell out!
We are passionate about the future of theatre and are working on some exciting productions for 2022 and beyond, soon to be announced.
