Anthony Drewe

Anthony Drewe is a British lyricist and book writer for Broadway and West End musicals. He is best known for his collaborations with George Stiles.

He was educated at Maidstone Grammar School between 1974-1980. He read Zoology at Exeter University between 1980-1983 where he met his writing partner George Stiles.

For more than 30 years, Drewe has worked with the composer George Stiles. Together they have written eleven shows (see below). Projects currently in development include Soap Dish, a new version of Half a Sixpence, an adaptation of Graham Greene's Travels with My Aunt and a new project with the director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell.

Tutankhamun was first performed at the Northcott Theatre and Imagination Buildings in 1984.

Just So was co-produced by Cameron Mackintosh at the Watermill in 1989 where it was directed by Julia McKenzie. A further production was mounted in 1990 directed by Mike Ockrent at the Tricycle Theatres in the UK. The celebrated Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut produced a new version of the show in 1996.

In 2002, Anthony Drewe directed an extensively reworked version at Boston’s North Shore Music Theatre in the USA, with designs by Peter McKintosh and choreography by Stephen Mear. With the same team, Anthony directed the 2004 Chichester Festival Theatre production, which received glowing reviews and proved to be a big hit.
