Mary Poppins - Les Miz - Cameron Mackintosh

New York Times: "Reflective is not one of the words usually associated with Mr. Mackintosh. Those would be: big, artful, lavish, tear-jerking. English music hall meets global passion on a stage near you, and the helicopter wins. Mr. Mackintosh remade the modern theatrical spectacle and transformed Broadway and the American road (not to mention old cinemas from Vienna to Tokyo) with his big four: “Cats,” “Les Misérables,” “Miss Saigon” and “The Phantom of the Opera.” At 50, he was knighted, partly because of his shows’ impact on Britain’s ’s economy. And now “Phantom” is the longest-running show on Broadway."
