- "Introduction By John Peel" From the album Theatre Royal Drury Lane (2005)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

"When the musicians come onstage you'll be surprised and quite impressed to see that they're all sober. The reason for this is that there is a stage, uh there is a bar backstage here, and it is open. Unfortunately, because of fire regulations, the door leading to it is locked. So you can peer through the door and look into the bar and see the bar people there ready for service but unfortunately you can't get through to them."

From the Archives: This Day in Julie-history My Fair Lady Opening Night Supper Savoy Hotel, London, 30 April 1958

66 years ago, Julie Andrews made her triumphant bow in the London opening of My Fair Lady at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Following the opening night performance, after-show parties were arranged at various venues around the West End. Producer Herman Levin hosted a party at the Dorchester which was attended by Stanley Hollaway and Cecil Beaton. Rex Harrison was guest at a supper held by the US Ambassador, Jock Hay Whitney and wife at Wingfield House. Hugh "Binkie" Beaumont, head of Tennent theatres, hosted another party at his home in Westminster (London 1958, p.3). True to homely form, Julie Andrews opted for a small private party at the Savoy Hotel attended by family and friends including Claire Bloom and Maggie Smith (London 1958, p.3). Guests dined on a special menu designed by the chefs of the Savoy Restaurant with bespoke dishes such as Le Suprême de Volaille Julie and Le Soufflé My Fair Lady.

Life magazine reported that Julie was "wrung out" as she and her family nervously awaited the critics' verdict. "But when the papers came, she was suddenly wide awake, on her feet and ready to dance all night" (Thompson 1958, p. 24).

I know my childhood fav book series (set in Drury Lane) has its reconstruction being a whole plot point and I now really want to reread that bit to see if they make any foreshadow-y jokes about it lasting forever, ushering a new era etc, given it burnt down 15 years after it was built
