The Travelling Music Show
This specific production does not yet have a description, but the play itself does:
Fred and Evie Limelight, on the tattier
end of the showbiz world, decide to stage a
musical about London, although they are
hampered with a leading performer, Reg, who
has never appeared on any stage before. The
show is a series of sketches evoking streetcorner
rip-off artists and tawdry tourist tat,
using the hit songs Leslie Bricusse and
Anthony Newley had written for their earlier
shows. “The Good Old Bad Old Days” is
performed by Fred and Reg as two incontinent
drunks, and “Nothing Can Stop Me Now” is
performed by a quivering goalkeeper. With
Bruce Forsyth ad-libbing throughout in his
accepted breezy manner, this was a variety
show cum revue rather than any kind of
structured musical.
