Set in London's Criterion Theatre in the Spring of 1941, Radio Times traces the struggles of the Cast of variety bandwagon a BBC Light Entertainment Show broadcasting for the first time Live to America. Unfortunately nothing is going right, Hitler is showing a total lack of tact with his Blitz and war damage has blocked off some of the Performers, but the show must go on and what a show - full of Song, Dance and non-stop laughter.

Just seen show in Derby. What a wonderful show with a very talented cast. Only disappointment was the number of empty seats. Been looking if tour at any other theatre in Midlands as would definitely see show again
