Forgotten British Musicals at the Theatre Museum

Following last year's success with A Girl Called Jo and Follow That Girl, Just-The-Ticket Productions and the Theatre Museum are presenting two more 'Forgotten British Musicals.'

Zip Goes A Million - the 1951 musical presented for the Eric Maschwitz centenary. Book and lyrics by Eric Maschwitz and music by George Posford.

Vanity Fair - a revised version of the 1962 musical. Book and lyrics by Robin Miller and music by Julian Slade.

Once again the productions will be semi-staged with book-in-hand, with full professional casts, directed and choreographed by Stewart Nicholls and musically directed and accompanied by Rowland Lee.

It is hoped that original cast members will be interviewed prior to the first performances. Anyone who was in the original productions, or knows of anyone who was in them is encouraged to contact the director Stewart Nicholls on: stewartnicholls@btinternet.com
