Play on Words: A Musical Celebration of P.G. Wodehouse on Broadway

“With a wonderfully expressive voice and all the wit and charm of Wodehouse himself, Hal Cazalet makes for an enchanting entertainer.”

Sir Stephen Fry

P. G. Wodehouse once had a record-breaking five musicals playing on Broadway at the same time. Today, his step-great grandson Hal Cazalet, with pianist Simon Beck, transports us back to the Golden Age of stage and screen through stories and song.

One of our greatest comic writers, ‘Plum’ Wodehouse said he wrote his stories like ‘musical comedies, without the music.’ His musicals between 1915-1935 not only defined the American musical, but informed the way he crafted his novels and characters.

Come and celebrate the birth of the American musical with theatrical writing highlights of the last 120 years from Gershwin, Kern, Rogers & Hammerstein, Noël Coward, Stephen Sondheim and many more.

Marking the 50th Anniversary year since the master of mirth left us for the Great Clubhouse in the sky.

Directed and Devised by Hugh Wooldridge, and organised in collaboration with LMH Fellow and Tutor in English Professor Sophie Ratcliffe.
