Mayhem and madness, mistaken identities, crazy complications. A sophisticated and witty pastiche of the carefree, mindless, Hollywood morale-building feel-good musicals of the 1940s, featuring the icons of that glamorous era: Snavely T. Bogle, Faye Bogle, Ray Bagalucci, Anna Bagalucci, Danny O’Reilly, Trudy McCloy, Skip Watson & Willoughby Dittenfeffer (otherwise recognisable as W.C. Fields, Mae West, Jimmy Durante, Rita Hayworth, Gene Kelly, Ethel Merman, and Abbott & Costello).

KINGS’ COMMENTS



Fact of the Day
A dedicated year round outdoor swimmer, Denis enthusiastically submerged himself in Highgate Ponds despite the fact that--as his wife, incredulous, informed him--it was so cold London Zoo had had to bring its penguins indoors.
