Although this is published by a specifically School based publisher ... it would make an ideal choice of musical for a Society who might also choose to put on Oliver! or Annie.

The Reviews
"The cast of 80 or so had some wonderful material...
catchy songs with snappy lyrics, roof raising chorus's and a wonderful finale."
Mark Cook, Milton Keynes Gazette.
"The evocation of the period was so good that I spent the first act waiting for Vera Lynne's entrance."
