West End Producer unmasked as Bill Kenwright... on April Fools Day

WhatsOnStage have revealed the true identity of West End Producer... on April Fools Day. 

The Blog reads: "The truth had to come out at some point my dears – and I feel now the time is right. I, West End Producer, the masked man of theatre… …am actually Bill Kenwright.

"Three years ago, I just wanted a bit more excitement in my life. I'd got a few shows on in town (most of which bored me), Everton weren't doing particularly well, I'd had an argument with Lloyd Webber about the size of Joseph's coat - so I decided to be naughty. A friend who works in PR (okay, my nephew) introduced me to Twitter, and together we came up with an idea: I would create an eccentric old man that tweeted his thoughts, allowing me to inject a bit of online fun into the often too serious world of theatre."

He goes on to reveal that he set up West End Producer to promote his shows and wears his Everton FC kit underneath his jacket at press nights.

Happy April Fools Day! The mystery of West End Producer continues...
