High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Really Useful Group (RUG) is an international company set up in 1977 by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It is involved in theatre, film, television, video and concert productions, merchandising, magazine publishing, records and music publishing. The name is inspired by a phrase from The Railway Series of children's stories in which Thomas the Tank Engine and other trains are referred to as "Really Useful Engines". Andre Ptaszynski, formerly chief executive of Really Useful Theatres, was appointed chief executive of the group in December 2005. The Really Useful Theatre Company produces and manages plays and musicals, mainly, but not limited to those written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It is also responsible for licensing its productions worldwide. In the 1990s, RUT mainly produced shows on its own, but more recently has again developed partnerships with other producers and production companies, notably Bill Kenwright, to produce its works, as it had done in the 1980s with Cameron Mackintosh.
