Play On Words: A musical celebration of P. G. Wodehouse on Broadway

About

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.

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.

With Simon Beck on piano

Directed and Devised by Hugh Wooldridge
