His less successful productions include the legendary flop Moby Dick and the stage adaptation of John Updike's The Witches of Eastwick, which despite some positive reviews closed after 9/11 saw a downturn in tourist visitors. He is due to co-produce the London transfer of Avenue Q in 2006.

In June 1998, Mackintosh celebrated thirty years in the business with Hey Mr Producer!, a gala concert featuring songs from shows he had produced throughout his career. The concert was performed twice, on June 7 and June 8, with proceeds going to the Royal National Institute of the Blind and the Combined Theatrical Charities. Many celebrities took part, and the June 8 performance was attended by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
