When Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Cats unexpectedly became a potential worldwide hit in 1981, the producer Cameron Mackintosh called in Martin McCallum, who ran an independent production company, to organise his office.
McCallum, who has died aged 73, did more than that. He collaborated in the management of Mackintosh’s overseas operations and offices in Australia and New York, and worked closely with him on restoring and refurbishing the first two of Mackintosh’s eight West End theatres, the Prince Edward and the Prince of Wales, before he went his own way in 2003.
