Jeremy Sams is a British theatre director, composer, and lyricist.
Jeremy Sams (born 12 January 1957) is a British theatre director, composer, and lyricist.
Born and raised in Croydon, London, Sams is the son of the Shakespearean scholar and musicologist Eric Sams and his wife Enid (née Tidmarsh). He was educated at the independent Whitgift School.
Sams attended Magdalene College, Cambridge and initially read modern languages (French and German) before switching to music. After Cambridge, he went on to train as a pianist at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
At the start of his career, Sam worked as a freelance pianist and coach, giving frequent recitals and tours and doing stints as a repetiteur at opera houses in Brussels and Ankara. His first big break in theatre came about through working with Steven Pimlott in the early 1980s, when he was commissioned by Pimlott to write the music for his production of Ring Round the Moon at the Manchester Royal Exchange.
In 2013, Sams was awarded an honorary degree by Birmingham City University and was appointed as an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music.
Sams has one child with his former partner, actress Maria Friedman.
