Commentaires : This was a re-written and enlarged version of the show which had first been performed at the Jermyn Street Theatre in November 2001, and had been touring at various points throughout 2002. It had played a week at the Greenwich Theatre in May 2002 but now had the opportunity to come into the West End. Wyndham’s Theatre was suddenly empty due to the collapse of Michael Barrymore’s come-back show and this show was available to fill the gap. It was a strictly limited two week run. There was a certain nostalgia and theatrical history about this performance - Anne Rogers had first come to stardom exactly fifty years earlier at this very theatre (in “The Boy Friend”)
