A WEST End producer is returning to Romsey for a concert at the Plaza Theatre.

Steve Ward has produced a number of shows and concerts in venues around the globe and by day runs the Aldwych Theatre in London’s West End, home of Tina, The Tina Turner Musical.

He started out as a member of the Romsey Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (RAODS) at the Plaza Theatre when he was a teenager.

Steve said: “The Plaza Theatre gave me an invaluable insight into all areas of the theatre, from backstage and technical to treading the boards, which inspired me to follow a career in the business.”

Nearly 30 years later, having recently moved back to Ampfield, Steve intends to produce a series of concerts closer to home.

This starts with Kiki Dee and Carmelo Luggeri on March 31, at 7.30pm.

For almost two decades, Kiki and Carmelo have been touring their acoustic live show across the UK and Europe.

They will perform covers of songs by artists such as Kate Bush and Frank Sinatra and Kiki’s own hits Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, I Got The Music In Me, Loving & Free and Amoureuse.
