Lady Be Good (1992)
Music and Lyrics by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin
Book by Guy Bolton and Fred Thompson
Presented by arrangement with Musicscope Limited and Stage Musicals, Ltd
The 1992 production of Lady Be Good, directed by then Artistic Director Ian Talbot, starred Simon Green, Joanna Riding and Bernard Cribbins. This was the first time a version of the play would include some interpolated numbers agreed by the Gershwin estate, including 'Just Another Rhumba', which had not been seen on stage before. A new production of Lady Be Good was subsequently staged in 2007.
