Anyone Can Whistle is a musical
comedy about a town that’s gone bankrupt because
its only industry is manufacturing something that never wears out.In order to revive her town Mayoress Cora Hoover Hooper and her town
council fake a miracle – water flowing from a rock – to attract
tourists. When patients at the local mental hospital escape and mix with
the townspeople and tourists, chaos ensues while J. Bowden Hapgood, a
fake psychiatrist falls in love with Fay Apple, a nurse at the asylum
who has disguised herself as a miracle verifier sent from Lourdes.
The show features classic Sondheim numbers including ‘Me
and My Town’, ‘Anyone Can Whistle’, ‘There Won’t be Trumpets’,
‘Everybody Says Don’t’ and ‘With So Little to Be Sure Of’.
One of Sondheim’s least-performed works – Anyone Can Whistle lasted only nine performances on Broadway in 1964. The original cast featured Angela Lansbury and Lee Remick. The Phil Willmott Company’s revival will be the first UK production
in six years and follows the director’s sell-out, critically-acclaimed
Union Theatre production of Sondheim’s Road Show last year.
Also among the creative team are
costume designer Penn O’Gara, Musical director Richard Baker,
choreographer Holly Hughes and casting director Adam Braham.
