Description
2013 production by the Jermyn Street Theatre of Ivor Novello's final musical, Gay's the Word. West End favourite Sophie-Louise Dann stars as Gay, alongside fast-rising Helena Blackman and Josh Little, and an amazing supporting cast including Tony Award-winner Elizabeth Seal.
Bankrupt stage star Gay Daventry opens a drama school, but finds what is needed to get her back on top 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 "On Such a Night as This", combining Novello's melodies with lyricist Alan Melville's wit.
Welsh-born composer, author and actor Ivor Novello (1893-1951) was one of the most eminent British entertainers of the last century. His West End musicals included Glamorous Night, The Dancing Years and King's Rhapsody. As an actor, he was Britain's first major male film star, appearing in over twenty silent features including Alfred Hitchcock's classic The Lodger.
