Text Box: In his mid twenties after 2 years of travelling in over 20 countries adapting his talents to the music hall, Gerard decided on a radical change to his life and career and became Artistic Director of the largest night club in Vienna, THE CASANOVA REVUE THEATRE.

THE CASANOVA REVUE THEATRE — VIENNA

Whilst at The Casanova, he was approached by Paul Raymond to direct ’RIP OFF’ a a nude extravaganza in London at THE WINDMILL THEATRE. The show ran for 6 years and following its huge success, Gerard staged shows at THE WHITEHALL THEATRE and then became the resident Artistic Director of the world famous RAYMOND REVUEBAR.

‘RIP OFF’ The Windmill Theatre London 1978-1983

Gerard's input was such, that by the mid-eighties the Raymond Revuebar show had been seen by millions and the acts, sets and costumes were copied and imitated all over the world from Germany and Spain to Canada and Australia.

At the Raymond Revuebar, Gerard had total artistic control over ideas, music, costume, props, choreography and training.

THE RAYMOND REVUEBAR FROM 1978

During this period he co-produced and staged a revue at THE ELYSEE MONMARTRE in Paris and LA COMEDIE DE PARIS.  Whilst there he also directed Fringe Theatre, Café Theatre and Cabaret for 18 months.

With its Art Deco façade, the Elysee Monmartre is the oldest Cabaret Music Hall in Paris.  The place where The Can Can was born, contrary to the popular legend that it originated at the Moulin Rouge!

Used for many purposes over the last century and becoming a successful Wrestling Hall in the 50’s.  In the 70’s, HAIR and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR were staged here.  RIP– OFF then followed a long run of OH CALCUTTA.

It is now a Concert Hall.
