In 2007, he made his debut as a theatre director with a West End revival of Rent dubbed Rent Remixed which received poor reviews. When asked beforehand how he was going to handle the change in direction, he claimed he said; "I'm approaching it in the same way I would approach a Kylie show or tour".[2]
He has also been credited as director of British pop singer Leona Lewis' critically acclaimed debut tour The Labyrinth, which was filmed in the London O2 Arena for a DVD/CD release.[citation needed]
