Sir Cameron Mackintosh undertook the Technical Course at Central in 1965, securing his first job in theatre while still a student here.  Sir Cameron has since produced more musicals than anyone else in history, including the three longest-running musicals of all times, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera and Cats, which are still running extraordinarily successfully across the world.  The New York Times described him as “The most successful, influential and powerful theatrical producer in the world”.
