In 2024, Samantha launched Paterson Productions, marking an exciting new chapter. The company’s debut season opened with a hilarious and high-energy production of Monty Python’s Spamalot, which delighted audiences with its irreverent humour, dazzling choreography, and strong ensemble performances. This was followed by the well-loved and highly praised Andrew Lloyd Webber on Stage—a musical tribute concert showcasing iconic songs from The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, and more, brought to life by a stellar cast and live orchestra.
“The Mother’s Day weekend season of “Andrew Lloyd Webber On Stage” … serves as an entertaining reminder of the talent that we are so fortunate to have appearing on our stages.” – Blue Curtains Brisbane
