Le monde des musicals

Advertised as “come sailing round the world with Paul Jones in a funtastic (sic) musical adventure for all the family”. It was a history lesson with a lot of anachronisms - King Philip of Spain talking to Queen Elizabeth 1 st from a telephone box - and a lot of references to TV shows and pantomime business. After the Christmas season it was redirected and toned down by a new director, Ken Hill, for a transfer to the Westminster Theatre. However, it lasted less than four weeks in its new form.
