hit Evita, and his US theater production of the musical won a
Tony Award for Best Musical in 1980. Alan Parker was always Stigwood's

is the producer of the hit film Grease, which is now touring
for the first time as a highly acclaimed stage musical featuring all
of the film songs. His other UK stage production credits include
Hair, Oh! Calcutta, The Dirtiest Show in Town, Pippin, Jesus Christ
Superstar (also a hugely successful US theater production),

Evita. Stigwood has produced many films, including
Tommy, Saturday Night Fever, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Stayin' Alive, and Gallipoli, together with the soundtracks
to Fame and The Empire Strikes Back.
