Aaron has recently been working on the music for Come Dine With Me: The Musical, in collaboration with lyricist Sam Norman (pictured). Come Dine With Me was presented in a shortened workshop form at MTFest 2022 at The Turbine Theatre, which was sold out for the entire run and received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

​

Aaron’s first foray into composing for musical theatre was the short musical Pawn, written in collaboration with lyricist Sam Norman. Pawn was a great success at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe festival. Aaron was later privileged to be selected to participate in a series of composition workshops with Claude-Michel Schönberg, the highly celebrated composer of musicals including Les Misérables and Miss Saigon.

 

In 2017, Aaron and Sam wrote a large scale musical  based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, which was performed in Oxford to overwhelmingly positive reviews (see above). Their next project, Nice Guy, was performed at the Oxford Playhouse's Burton Taylor Studio, with the intent of  increasing awareness of abusive relationships. To this end they are grateful for the support of the charity Clean Slate. Nice Guy was the only show to receive a 5 star review from The Cherwell in 2018, and was a 2020 Finalist in the Eric Weinberger Award hosted by Amas Musical Theatre
