Musical director Mark Dorrell tests a piano from Alexander Pianos for the upcoming production of Into the Woods at the Fortune Theatre. It was Dorrell's first West End job and his role as assistant conductor was as scary as it was exciting. He still works full-time, only now it's at the New Zealand Music School at Victoria University. A position that is not quite as demanding as his 10-year West End career where he worked on two other Sondheim works - Assassins and Passion. While he loved straight theatre, he found musical theatre reached people on a deeper level.
