Hi! My name is
Christopher Orton
I am a young, musical theatre composer from South Wales, now living in London. I am a big believer in the need to get new, original musicals to the forefront of the musical theatre scene. I have written several musicals with my co-lyricist Robert Gould but it is this show, MY LAND'S SHORE, that we feel has a big chance to be seen by a wide audience and promote new writing in the UK.
I trained in Opera at The Royal Northern College Of Music in Manchester and then at The Royal Academy Of Music in London. I have been working as a professional performer for the last 5 years, appearing in shows like Spamalot, Martin Guerre, Songs For A New World, Spend Spend Spend.
