Arlene Phillips truly is showbusiness royalty-she's a multiple Olivier Award-winner and Tony Award nominee for her work in theatre and is responsible for the routines of many hit West End and Broadway musicals. Grease, Starlight Express, We Will Rock You, The Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, Saturday Night Fever and Flashdance are just some of her masterpieces.
Arlene has also collaborated with film directors and producers to create choreography for successes such as the 1982 version of Annie and Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life’(1983), as well as Legend (1985) starring Tom Cruise.
She talks about her career, how believing in yourself is the best recipe for success and what gossiping with Andrew Lloyd Weber has to do with wonder on wheels that is Starlight Express.
