The theatre is notorious for its superstitions. “Break a leg” … “the Scottish Play” and the avoidance of using mirrors and live flowers on-stage are probably some of the best known. Equally there is the saying “The Show must go on” when everything seems to be conspiring against such an event taking place! In this collection the Show definitely does go on, with many talented Light Music composers doing their best to create a feeling of warmth, happiness and general well-being that is usually associated with the entertainment business. Thus we have a good selection of pieces descriptive of the theatre, alongside some diversions into the worlds of the cinema, radio and television. |
