Confusion arises when the real Father Christmas drops in on a
Christmas night party in 1910. The guests soon find themselves in
Christmasland on a very special treasure-hunt - a search for true
happiness. The show has many enchanting and delightful songs and
ends happily in the best of traditions.8 women, 12 men
In the story of Follow That Girl we meet Victoria Gilchrist whose
Victorian father and mother have condemned her to wed one of two
wealthy shopkeeper suitors, Tancred and Wilberforce. Rather than
agree to her parents wishes Victoria runs away.8 women, 10 men
In the general direction of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark,
and just off the edge of the map, lies the island of Terhou, so
small that even the tourist trade has not yet invaded it. The
entire population numbers no more people than are to be found in
the average operatic society, and they sing all day, for they are
happy folk. Or they would be, if only they could find a May Queen
for their annual festival.4 women, 9 men
Newly acquired BA gowns hang heavy on the shoulders of Jane and
Timothy. Having got this far, what on earth do they do next? They
could get married, of course (so they do), but how can they make a
living? In a London park one breathlessly warm summer day they
encounter a tramp who trundles round a mobile mini-piano. Even
tramps need a holiday now and then, and he invites the young
graduates to look after his business interests for a month at
OEGBP7 per week plus whatever they can collect. The piano is not
just any old mobile mini; those who hear it find themselves
dancing, even against their better judgment. On this gentle thread
of story is strung a series of revue-type scenes providing rich
opportunities for versatile comedy players who can also sing and
dance. For the chorus Originally, nothing! The production which ran
for 2,283 record-breaking performances at the Vaudeville had a cast
of twelve, plus a pianist, who between them played fifty-five roles
of assorted lengths - the star of one scene being required,
perhaps, to do no more than walk on in the next. Needless to say,
there is every opportunity for an imaginative producer to use a
much larger cast.
