Moira Bennett - Theatre Producer
Originally from Scotland Moira began her thirty-plus years in the music business at A&M Records head office in London. Moving on to CBS she worked in several countries before being posted to Sydney where she oversaw stewardship of numerous satellite labels that were managed by the giant corporation. At the height of the eighties Richard Branson selected Moira to head up Virgin Records Australia - Australia's first female Managing Director of a record company. The fledgling label quickly enjoyed huge commercial success with star acts Culture Club, Peter Gabriel, Human League, Public Image Ltd, Simple Minds and enjoyed local success when Moira's first local singing Do Re Mi topped the charts. These days Moira concentrates her energy on the live scene, packaging new productions, showcasing local talent and along the way paying homage to past greats. Moira is a theatre producer and has produced several successful shows including At Last - The Etta James Story. Starring the incredible Vika Bull the smash-hit show has toured extensively throughout Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, has completed three sell-out seasons at The Sydney Opera House and continues to thrill audiences across the country. In 2014 Moira produced Let's Get It On - The Life And Music Of Marvin Gaye. As well as touring throughout Australia, in May 2015 the show opened to rave reviews at the prestigious Nelson Mandela Theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa. Moira's most recent production Bugle Boys performed at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018.
