My One & Only Albery???Date: 11 October 2001 A West End transfer for Chichester Festival's recent production of My One and Only, which has been on the cards for the past two months, could be nearing confirmation. Word is that the Gershwin musical will follow Howard Davies' hit revival of Private Lives into the Albery Theatre. The Coward comedy, starring Alan Rickman and Lindsay Duncan, is on a limited run up to early January with My One and Only tipped for a February opening. Previously a hit on Broadway, My One and Only received its UK debut in Chichester this summer. The musical is based on the original 1927 show, Funny Face, and features an array of song and dance pieces that were written and choreographed for Fred and Adele Astaire. The story concerns a daredevil aviator who attempts to become the first pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic. My One and Only is directed by Loveday Ingram and, at Chichester, starred Olivier Award winners Janie Dee and Tim Flavin.
