Mal Hall
Originating from the North East of England, Mal initially trained as performer, gaining a degree in Musical Theatre from Arts Educational Schools London. After graduating, Mal decided to concentrate on a career as a Musical Director, and quickly began working as a rehearsal/audition pianist and vocal coach in London, whilst also teaching at ArtsEd and Emil Dale Academy.
Since 2018, Mal has been the resident Musical Director for the English Theatre Frankfurt, conducting
every performance of Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, and Young Frankenstein, and from 2022 also took on the role of Musical Supervisor for Sister Act, Something Rotten!, and Nunsense. Prior to this, Mal was the Associate Musical Director for the UK tour of Summer Holiday, and Musical Director for the brand new Bananaman the Musical, which he took through every workshop stage to full production at Southwark Playhouse, London (“Mal Hall’s musical direction flies better than Bananaman ever could” - Metro). He made his professional debut as Musical Director for an actor/musician production of Piaf at the Charing Cross Theatre in London, and was also Assistant Musical Director for the original workshop of Girl From the North Country at The Old Vic, London.
Mal is a keen cook - pizzas and curries are his specialities - and spends time between contracts at his new home on the North East coast in Whitley Bay, which is where he also gets to watch and support his favourite team as a season ticket holder at Newcastle United Football Club.
Mal is very excited to be joining The Bridge Theatre for their first musical tick, tick...BOOM!, and also to experience Brussels for the very first time.
