BA (Hons) Musical Theatre: Anyone Can Whistle

London College of Music BA (Hons) Musical Theatre presents: 'Anyone Can Whistle'. 

Written by Arthur Laurents. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Orchestrations by Don Walker. 

Presented through special arrangement, and with all authorised performance materials supplied, with Music Theatre International. 

'Anyone Can Whistle' tells the story of a corrupt mayoress who fakes a miracle to revitalise her bankrupt town (through the resulting pilgrim trade) and the ill-fated romance between the rational nurse, out to expose the fraud, and the easygoing doctor who is determined to enjoy the chaos that it brings. In the end, the show delivers a poignant message about the importance of the individual in a conformist society – but not before aiming its still-relevant barbs at government, religion, science and anything else that stands in its way! 

With its circus-like atmosphere, 'Anyone Can Whistle' features plenty of memorable, lovably cartoonish roles of all sizes. The dazzling, melodic Broadway-style score overflows with the youthful energy of experimentation, consisting of one showstopper after another, including two extensive ballets that provide opportunities for some inspired choreography.
