- Contemporary British Musical that honours the way Musicals used to be. Wonderful score and delightfully funny book.
For two centuries, the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens drew enormous crowds for its Circus Acts, Balloon Rides, Orchestral Concerts and Spectacular Fireworks. For those in the know, however, the darker paths, wooded corners and intimate arbours were used for more illegal and intimate entertainments. But now it is 1850 and the gardens are in their dying days. Yet still the faithful come….
Tom, a handsome young gardener is torn between the hopelessly romantic shipping Clark, Ralph and a sexually voracious aristocratic couple, Lord and Lady Lovelock.
With the gardens closing and his livelihood under threat, will Tom choose a bohemian life with Ralph: employment with the unorthodox Lord and Lady Lovelock: or answer the drumbeat of a looming overseas war?
