The Robert Stigwood Organisation (RSO) was founded in the early sixties by entertainment Tycoon Robert Stigwood. RSO promoted artists such as Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, David Bowie and Rick Davis (a former member of the Bay City Rollers), and managed and developed the careers of acts including Blind Faith and Eric Clapton. The RSO Records label recorded artists including Clapton, Yvonne Elliman and Player, and soundtrack albums for the motion pictures The Empire Strikes Back and Fame (both 1980) in addition to the films produced by his company RSO Films. RSO's transition "from rock management concern to multimedia entertainment empire" began with the West-End production of the pioneering rock musical Hair. Followed with many other highly successful productions: Oh! Calcutta!, The Dirtiest Show in Town, Pippin, Sweeney Todd, Sing a Rude Song, John, Paul, Ringo and Bert (Evening Standard Drama Award Best Musical for 1974) and the last of the Tim Rice-Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals, Evita. Both Superstar and Evita were successfully reproduced on Broadway, the latter picking up the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1980. RSO Films produced hit cult movies such as Jesus-Christ Superstar, Tommy, Grease, Grease 2, Saturday Night Fever, Stayin' Alive, Gallipoli, Moment by Moment, The Fan, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Times Square, Evita... RSO produced stage versions of his other successful film musicals, Grease and Saturday Night Fever still touring to please audiences around the globe. RSO is always on the lookout for new talents, scripts, ideas, and invests in many musical theatre productions!
