What a pantomime bill! The Liverpool Empire in the 1961/2 season ...
I must dig in the files! Tommy must have got a huge salary from Moss's Empires and Julian Wylie to have done this! As .. what .. Humpty Dumpty? Book by Phil Park and David Croft. Songs by diito ad Cyril Ornadel ... staged by Stanley Willis-Croft ...
Few of the supporting cast ring bells for me. Hunarian chanteuse Eve Boswell, of course ('sings in nine languages' ... let's hope one of them was Liverpudlian) as principal boy, Wynn Calvin as Simple Simon with Songs, Michael Kilgarriff as alwas as the giant ... and, well, Ted Lune is in black type, so I guess I should know him.
Anyone know Edna Wynn, Seth Jee, Joy Jackley (one of THE Jackleys?), Iris Sadler, Sammy Curtis, Hedley Colson, Peter Britten ...
Well, those were, at least, the days when seasonal shows had original scores ...
