Elliot Davis

Elliot Davis is a British composer, musician and music documentary maker.

Davis started his career transcribing musical ideas for Lionel Bart. He then went on to work in the West End of London in a musical capacity on Miss Saigon, Cats, Les Misérables, Blood Brothers and Jesus Christ Superstar. He was musical director for the European premieres of Lucky Stiff, Orpheus and The Demon Headmaster, which premiered at the Pleasance Theatre, London. Davis has also collaborated with Stephen Schwartz (composer of Wicked) on re-scoring and arranging his Broadway smash Pippin.

Davis's musical Best Friends and Butterflies formed part of the 2008 Official Olympic Handover Celebrations from Beijing to London when it was played by the BBC Big band in Concert.

The original score Davis composed for the 2010 Druid production of The Sliver Tassie by Sean O'Casey performed at the Town Hall Theatre, Galway, was described as providing "an elegaic lilt to O'Caswey's rousing songs" by Irish Theatre Magazine.

For Youth Music Theatre UK he has written three musicals with James Bourne (Busted/Son of Dork): Loserville: The Musical (2009) based on the album Welcome to Loserville; Out There (2011), an original musical imagining an Apollo astronaut who mysteriously disappears in 1969; and a musical based on Bourne's time in the band Busted called What I Go to School For - the Busted Musical (2016), which premiered at the Theatre Royal Brighton. Loserville and Out There are both licensed by Music Theatre International.

He has an exclusive songwriting contract with Warner/Chappell Music. His song 'Lifetime of Love' was a finalist in the London International Song Competition and 'The Village Song' was top three in Radio Two's search for a songwriter competition.[citation needed ]
