Gyles Brandreth’s witty and often surprising survey of the musical is a roller-coaster of melody and wit in this 2 CD set. From George Gershwin to Stephen Sondheim, from Cole Porter to Boubil and Schonberg (not forgetting the entire works of Andrew Lloyd Webber) this is the true bluffer’s guide to musical theatre – the ultimate A-Z of musicals. Get them all out of your system in one whistle-stop tour of London’s West End and Broadway, with musical selections that will amuse and defy explanation. This is in fact a complete unexpurgated stage performance of Zipp!, recorded ‘live’ in its manic entirety at the Ashcroft Croydon at the end of its record-breaking run. This unique entertainment even makes way for some truly ravishing moments, as it prepares us for Brandreth’s transformation into Dorothy from Oz.

With: Gyles Brandreth, Andrew C Wadsworth, Stefan Bednarczyk, Shona White
