About Me
"Hi! I'm John Rowe. You may know me from such shows as…... well you can check it all out here. In a nutshell, I make stuff up, and put stuff on – big and small, on stage and on screen, for audiences all over the world."
John is an energetic and highly skilled creative with a vast range of professional experience across the industry including theme parks, cruise ships, musical theatre, television, licensed mall shows and large-scale events.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Music, and 25+ years experience on creative teams as show creator, show director, scriptwriter, musical director, music producer, composer and lyricist, alongside his professional performing and teaching careers, John’s extensive and unique talent set have made him a highly sought after creative. He is able to dream up ideas with a childlike whimsy, but is also gifted with the practical skills and experience to bring these ideas to life.
His infectious energy and excellent interpersonal skills combined with a natural gift for positive communication have cemented his leadership abilities as creative and show director. He has worked internationally both leading and collaborating with creative and technical teams and a myriad of performers to deliver magical, memorable and moving shows and events from inception to performance.
"Nothing quite beats the feeling of connecting with an audience, taking them on a shared journey, moving them, and seeing them respond. It's been a privilege to do this in many countries and across cultures, proving that the world isn't quite as big as we might think." - JR
