Strike A Light

(1966 Piccadilly Theatre) - music manuscripts of the original production. Does anyone know of the whereabouts of the original musical director George Michie - who is thought to have copies of the original scores.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cage Me A Peacock (1948 Cambridge and Strand Theatres) - the scripts are in the British Library - but does anyone have the music manuscripts?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Kid From Stratford (1948 Princes Theatre) - the story of this Arthur Askey sounds hysterical - but does anyone have any material on the show? Does anyone know of the estate of Manning Sherwin?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Amazons (1971 Nottingham Playhouse) - does anyone have a 'live' recording of the score for the David Heneker estate?
