Jon Conway Productions
JON CONWAY was the co-founder of QDOS ENTERTAINMENT group over twenty years ago, helping steer it to be one of the UK’s major light entertainment companies. In his role as creative director, he produced over 400 pantomimes and devised shows for BBC TV, Celebrity cruise lines, Las Vegas showrooms, and concert tours all over the world. At one time Jon headed the company’s talent agency, not to mention being a director of HQ theatres.
Jon has been joined in the company by his son the actor and comedian JORDAN CONWAY. Jordan is developing the CRAZY COMEDY COMPANY for both live action and tv. Together they produced the comedy play LAUREL AND CHAPLIN – THE FEUD, which played London’s West End and Blackpool in 2023 after its successful premiere at the Edinburgh Festival. They also have plans for an intriguing feature film called ‘LEVITATE’.
Today, Jon creates large scale family ARENA SPECTACULARS, including ELF THE MUSICAL, SCROOGE: CIRQUE EXTRAVAGANZA, PETER PAN and CINDERELLA. His productions have been the Christmas show at ICC WALES for three years running: Elf The Musical in 2024, Scrooge: Cirque Extravaganza in 2025, and Peter Pan this December.
Recent productions include Jon’s ground-breaking bombshell play ‘TRUTH LIES DIANA’, which had a West End season following an off-Broadway premiere, and a revival of ‘BOOGIE NIGHTS – THE 70’S MUSICAL’ for a long summer season in Blackpool.
After Jon and Jordan set up ONEWAY FILMS, their first short film GRIMALDI won best film at festivals in Los Angeles, London, and Italy. Their first feature LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE starring DAVID HASSELHOFF was aired on AXS cable network in the USA.
Jon developed a dozen spectacular cruise line shows for Qdos on Celebrity Cruise lines and continues to develop new formats across the globe for clients such as Ministry Of Sound, Eclipse Films and Shanghai and Los Angeles based companies, including the ILLUMINASIA exhibition, a stunning visitor attraction resident in Blackpool for 3 years.
His ground breaking new play, TRUTH, LIES, DIANA had a two month season in London’s West End in 2015, following an off Broadway try out.
