• Gay's the World at Finborough Theatre

  Drama

  5 Feb 2012 to 20 Feb 2012

  'Gay's the World' is presented as part of The Finborough Theatre's acclaimed 'Celebrating British Music Theatre' series, following its recent sell-out success of Ivor Novello's musical romance 'Perchance to Dream'. Ivor Novello affectionately sends up his own Ruritanian extravagances in this irrestistible backstage musical comedy. Stage star Gay Daventry, bankrupted from the flop of her latest operetta, opens a drama school and finds – after various misadventures – that the one quality needed to get her back in the spotlight is, to name the show's hit song, 'Vitality!' Other numbers include 'If Only He'd Looked My Way' (subsequently recorded by Frank Sinatra), 'Bees Are Buzzin'' and the enchanting 'On Such A Night As This', all combining Novello's melodic talent with Alan Melville's sharp wit. It is directed and choreographed by Stewart Nicholls.
