West End Snaps up Goodall’s Two Cities???
Date: 29 June 2006
The Salisbury Playhouse – which is premiering
Howard Goodall’s new musical
Two Cities, freely adapted from Charles Dickens’ literary classic
A Tale of Two Cities, in September (See
News, 28 Jun 2006) – is advising visitors to its website to “catch it in Salisbury before the West End snaps it up”. If a commercial producer does indeed snap it up, it wouldn’t be the first Goodall musical to hit the West End. His
Girlfriends transferred to the West End’s Playhouse Theatre and was later revised for a run at the Arts Theatre, while his multi award-winning debut musical
The Hired Man, which he co-wrote with Melvyn Bragg at the age of 26, had five months at London’s Astoria Theatre (now a live music venue), with the backing of
Andrew Lloyd Webber.
