Their other shows include Tutankhamun; Just So; Honk! (seen Watermill Theatre, Stephen Joseph Theatre and Royal National Theatre and in over 2000 productions world-wide), winner of three Best Musical awards - the 2000 Laurence Olivier Award the FNB VITA Award in South Africa, and the Elliot Norton Award in the US); and Peter Pan (Det Ny Theater, Copenhagen, and the Royal Festival Hall) which won Best Song and the Orchestras Award at the 1996 International Musical of the Year in Denmark. They have also written two revues and contributed songs to a variety of theatre, TV, and radio shows, including the RSC's Shakespeare Revue, The Challenge, and Dame Edna's Look At Me When I'm Talking To You. Stiles and Drewe's next project is Soho Cinders, and together they are founder board members of MMD, a charity promoting new writing for the musical theatre. Independently, George is the composer of Moll Flanders (winner of Best Musical in the 1995 TMA Awards), Tom Jones (Theatre Royal, York, North Shore Music Theatre, NYMF New York) and, most recently, The Three Musketeers (Stadttheater, St. Gallen, Switzerland, American Musical Theatre of San Jose, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre). George's other recent projects include the score for Sam Mendes's productions of Habeas Corpus, Twelfth Night and Uncle Vanya at the Donmar Warehouse and working as Dame Edna's musical director and arranger.
