Musical theatre
Aaron recently composed for Come Dine With Me: The Musical, the official licensed adaptation of the iconic television show. Described by The Scotsman as 'as bubbly and delicious as a chilled glass of prosecco', Come Dine With Me: The Musical was written alongside award winning lyricist and book-writer Sam Norman and is currently showing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In September it will also be performed at The Turbine Theatre in London. It was presented in a shortened workshop form at MTFest 2022 at The Turbine Theatre and sold out for the entire run with received overwhelmingly positive reviews. The show then made it's official debut at Norwich Theatre in summer 2024.​
In other recent credits, Aaron provided additional orchestration for I Wish You Well: The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski-Trial Musical which is also currently running at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Aaron’s very first foray into composing for musical theatre was the short musical Pawn, written in collaboration with lyricist Sam Norman. Pawn was a great success at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe festival, and as a result Aaron was later privileged to be selected to participate in a series of composition workshops with Claude-Michel Schönberg, the highly celebrated composer of musicals including Les Misérables and Miss Saigon.
In 2017, Aaron and Sam wrote a large scale musical based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, which was performed in Oxford to overwhelmingly positive reviews. Their next project, Nice Guy, was performed at the Oxford Playhouse's Burton Taylor Studio, with the intent of increasing awareness of abusive relationships. To this end they are grateful for the support of the charity Clean Slate. Nice Guy was the only show to receive a 5 star review from The Cherwell in 2018, and was a 2020 Finalist in the Eric Weinberger Award hosted by Amas Musical Theatre
