With Jillian George Lewis

“I had to go and meet Channing.”

In this episode, John Blackburn chats with Jillian George-Lewis, Director of Creative Programming at the Hippodrome Casino in London where she played a central role in reshaping its theatre offer and bringing Magic Mike Live to London. Jillian is also an in demand performer working across cabaret, hosting, and live events.

Amongst other insightful topics, Jillian discusses the realities of running a build inside a 24-hour casino, the negotiations behind a major international production, and the less glamorous work of getting departments to operate as one system.

... and if you’re watching the video version, stay tuned to the very end.
