Join Tim Hutton for two hours of great Sunday lunchtime showtunes and enjoy his enthusiasm for flop musicals, off-the-wall pop covers and all manner of wonderfully obscure musical theatre oddities. CONTACT THE SHOW: tim@boxofficeradio.co.uk
Tim is a record producer and label owner who has run the independent UK label, Stage Door Records, since 2008. Dedicated to reissuing cast recordings and vocal albums by artists associated with musical theatre, the label celebrates the rich history of the genre, bringing overlooked recordings back into the spotlight and giving them a new lease of life.
Tim’s love affair with musicals began in childhood, growing up in Qatar, when a VHS viewing of The Sound of Music opened the door to a lifelong passion. From there, he tumbled down the rabbit hole of the great Rodgers and Hammerstein film musicals, with Carousel remaining his favourite musical of all time.
Running Stage Door has given Tim the opportunity to work with an extraordinary range of composers, producers and performers, a privilege he never takes for granted. As he puts it: “From Tim Rice and Tommy Steele to Chita Rivera and Twiggy, the joy of collaborating with artists and writers whose work you’ve admired for decades is the ultimate privilege.” At the heart of Stage Door’s mission is a desire to preserve musical theatre history, ensuring that past productions and recordings are given the chance to be heard, appreciated and rediscovered by future generations, rather than simply fading into obscurity.
Beyond the label, Tim has worked extensively as an archivist and consultant on a variety of projects. Most notably, he contributed to the critically acclaimed 2025 documentary film “Twiggy”, serving as a consultant and appearing on screen as a contributor.
Away from work, Tim enjoys open water swimming, cycling, travelling, collecting CDs, vinyl and vintage ephemera, and, naturally, theatregoing. His musical tastes extend well beyond the showtune canon, with a particular fondness for British female singers of the 1960s and 1970s. Cilla Black holds a special place in his record collection.
Tim is delighted to be joining the Box Office Radio team, where he will be sharing his enthusiasm for flop musicals, off-the-wall pop covers and all manner of wonderfully obscure musical theatre oddities with fellow showtune aficionados.
