Broadway Producer Scott Sanders Sells Firm to Westfield Malls
Tony and Emmy Award-winning producer Scott Sanders has just been named creative head of global entertainment, a newly created role, at Westfield Corporation.
Along with his existing plans to bring several productions to Broadway — including “Tootsie,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter” and “Up Here” — and to make the movie adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s “In the Heights,” Sanders will also be developing “organically-inspired” theatrical experiences for the company’s many shopping centers in cities including London, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.
“The writers are busily at work and we’re excited about what they’re doing,” Sanders told TheWrap of his upcoming Broadway and film productions.
When it comes to the plan to bring innovative entertainment to the company’s shopping centers, he said “the possibilities are infinite.”
No specific plans have been laid out yet but, added Sanders, “I am eager to collaborate with artists at the top of their fields in all mediums to bring immersive entertainment to Westfield consumers.”
Lisbeth R. Barron, Chairman & CEO, and the team at Barron International Group, LLC, was the financial advisor to Scott Sanders Theatrical Productions for the transaction.
