| Description: | Select Guide Rating Backstage Without a Pass provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the colourful world of live entertainment, covering Paul Gregg’s incredible journey from a council estate in the north of England to one of the UK's most influential entertainment impresarios. Paul Gregg is the mastermind behind the iconic Apollo Leisure Group, which hosted many of the world''s greatest live shows, including The Lion King, Starlight Express, Fiddler on the Roof, Les Misérables, Cats and Riverdance. Despite initially being regarded as an upstart by the theatrical establishment, Paul successfully built a portfolio of over sixty theatres across the UK and Ireland, and his remarkable career saw him work alongside international performers such as Dean Martin, Liza Minnelli and Michael Jackson, plus British greats like Cliff Richard, Shirley Bassey and Queen. Told with warmth and humour, Backstage Without a Pass provides a unique insight into Paul’s life: from his childhood growing up on a council estate in the north of England to the colourful world of live entertainment and a dramatic boardroom showdown whilst he was the co-owner of Everton FC. Packed with further anecdotes about the great and good, the story unfolds against the backdrop of Paul''s own personal struggles with family relationships, and is an honest, inspiring reflection on his incredible life. |
