Commentaires : This was as a kind of successor to “Wild Oats” - which had been the hit show of the previous year at the Prince’s – using the same three stars with the same kind of story in its revue form - three comic performers and a series of vaguely related comedy sketches . It looked as if it would settle down to be another hit for the trio, but it was forced to close after its second week because of the outbreak of war. It was not revived.

Commentaires : This was as much a revue as a musical - with three comic performers and a series of sketches staged in different countries and different settings. It was, however, very popular, running seven months in town before undertaking a successful provincial tour.
