Reviews

I have been unable to put it down...many thanks to Adrian Wright for an invaluable tome which should be in the library of everyone who claims to enjoy musical theatre. John Groves, OPERETTA RESEARCH CENTER


We have high hopes in recommending Adrian Wright's Must Close Saturday, The Decline and Fall of the British Musical Flop... Some of the examples are wonderful... This book is not only written for the general reader, then, but also for the more assiduous researcher. Either way, it should certainly be on all library shelves. I adored it. Julian Oddy, THEATRE RECORD A fascinating and highly detailed book...this is a 'must buy' for all musical devotees! HOME CHAT, THE NEWSLETTER OF THE NOEL COWARD SOCIETY I have been unable to put it down...many thanks to Adrian Wright for an invaluable tome which should be in the library of everyone who claims to enjoy musical theatre. John Groves, OPERETTA RESEARCH CENTER
