Hello! I’m Ashton Moore, a composer, lyricist, arranger and musical director based in Chelmsford, UK. After more than a decade balancing a leadership role in performing arts education with high-profile theatre projects, I moved into professional theatre full-time in 2024. My 2025 included a sold-out concert at the Actors’ Church, Covent Garden, bringing the European premiere of "Cry-Baby the Musical" to London as one of the lead creatives, and multiple award nominations, including from the Black British Theatre Awards and BroadwayWorld UK. I’m currently working on "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" as musical director for the World Premiere at the Royal Shakespeare Company and its forthcoming West End transfer, while also collaborating with contemporary icons of the industry. Outside the stage, I’m the founder and director of The Musical Theatre Centre, helping to nurture and inspire the next generation of performers from Essex and beyond.…Hello!
