Mr. Sheffield

Maxwell went to Goodrington School Age: 3-11 and The Warren School age: 11-18 in Rainham, England. It is also implied that he served during the Falklands War prior to his arrival to America. He has an older sister named Jocelyn and a brother named Nigel. They have divorced parents. His mother hates Fran and finds her impractical. His father cheated on his mother with his secretary and caused the divorce. After the divorce he married the secretary, which caused Maxwell to hate his step-mother. They stayed together until his death, when Maxwell and his siblings found out in the will that all his money was left to his secret love child, giving Maxwell another sister.

Maxwell is a Broadway theatrical producer of some success, although his main rival was Andrew Lloyd Webber. It has always irritated him that he had turned down producing the shows Cats (as well as Tommy and Hair) and that Webber had made a fortune from it.

His wife Sara had died some years before the start of the show (the cause of death is never stated). Maxwell worked closely with his business partner, C.C. Babcock (who has her eyes set on him) for almost 20 years. Maxwell has three children; Maggie, Brighton and Gracie. However, his busy schedule does not allow him much time to spend with them, so he had to find a nanny.
