Magical,Mysterious...

...and totally charming. If all you know of Sandy Wilson's work is THE BOY FRIEND, this lovely show (written for Bertice Reading) will come as a delightful surprise.

Musical joy.

Sandy Wilson's loveliest musical score is best served by the original London Cast recording (- the Cleo Laine version.)
The only cavil being the lack of orchestral work and this rich score demands more than what it's been given. This- Chicester 1980's Beatrice Reading CD version is even skimpier and not as well-sung by some soloists, as the original.
Melodically and lyrically this is a gem. Much more sophisticated than Wilson's The Boyfriend, this score is gorgeous.
Someday,hopefully we may get a new version that orchestrally does justice to Wilson's masterpiece.
