I've uploaded the show to listen again early as I'm out tonight. It's a Valentine's special, but that doesn't mean that it's unmitigated soppiness, I don't do that!

I remember an episode of Theatreland where Sheridan Morley gave his review from the steps of the Theatre (at high risk to personal safety) My recollection was that it went roughly SM: Emily Bronte will be spinning in her grave. Groupie: I'll have you know Emily Bronte helped write this!

I am amazed, maybe it had more backing? Of course the record goes to the Oscar Wilde musical that ran just one night

I did see this! I don't think that it was the 'worst' musical that I saw around that time. I seem to recall 'Out of the Blue' about the atomic bomb being dropped was up there🤣
31 January, so... the anniversary of the demise of Guy Fawkes? Bit obvious, maybe
How about Ham the Astrochimp going into space?
No, because, in 1996, this was the opening night of The Fields of Ambrosia, a West End musical about... er, a travelling executioner 🧵
