BBC Concert Orchestra presents:
THE GOOD COMPANIONS
Thursday 5 & Friday 6 November
John Wilson conductor
Music by André Previn
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Libretto by Ronald Harwood
Adapted from J.B. Priestley's novel
Presented by arrangement with Warner/Chappell Music Ltd
Join the BBC Concert Orchestra and conductor John Wilson for a classic feel-good show The Good Companions.
A musical troupe is set for financial and musical ruin after their manager runs off with all their money and the pianist! But as luck would have it Miss Trant (a wealthy young lady) bails them out, saving the day. The group then sets off on a hilariously adventurous tour, taking the UK by storm.
André Previn’s score has something for everybody, with tunes to have you singing all the way home. Slippin’ Around The Corner is a musical triumph like all the Carry On films rolled into one, with And Susie For Everybody set to sweep you off your feet and have you dancing on air.
This is André Previn’s 80th birthday year, so why not come along and celebrate with the BBC Concert Orchestra. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday 5 & Friday 6 November for a fun-filled evening of belly laughs and classic English humour. To book call: 0871 663 2500. Tickets £15/£12.
