Commentaires : This was another success for Lionel Bart, who by this time was riding high as one of the most successful musical theatre composers of his generation. The run itself was beset with difficulties, many stemming from Rachel Robert’s personal traumas and alcohol problems. Her young understudy, Julia McKenzie, took over on several occasions. The leading role was later taken by Georgia Brown and then Judith Bruce.
