Brigadoon NOELE GORDON His Majesty's Theatre London Programme 1950

Description: Brigadoon His Majesty's Theatre London Programme 1950 Brigadoon is a musical with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, and music by Frederick Loewe.[1] The song "Almost Like Being in Love", from the musical, has become a standard. It features two American tourists who stumble upon Brigadoon, a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every 100 years. Tommy, one of the tourists, falls in love with Fiona, a young woman from Brigadoon.The original production opened at the Ziegfeld Theatre[2] on Broadway in 1947 and ran for 581 performances. It starred David Brooks, Marion Bell, Pamela Britton, and Lee Sullivan. In 1949, Brigadoon opened at Her Majesty's Theatre in the West End and ran for 685 performances with Noele Gordon of Crossroads fame playing another Meg - Meg Brockie. NOELE GORDONGordon attended RADA, appearing in repertory theatres and the West End stage. From June 1943 to July 1944, she appeared in the musical The Lisbon Story at the London Hippodrome. In April 1949, she took the role of Meg Brockie in the original London production of Brigadoon for 685 performances at Her Majesty's Theatre. She stayed with the show for a national tour. In 1953, she toured as Mrs Sally Adams in Call Me Madam after Billie Adams had played the role in the London season at the Coliseum.Her first television appearance for ATV in the Midlands, Tea With Noele Gordon, was the first popular ITV chat show, and while presenting this series, she became the first woman to interview a British Prime Minister,when Harold Macmillan was in office. Initially commissioned as an emergency schedule filler, the show became so successful that Gordon gave up her executive position to concentrate on presenting. She then moved on to present a daily live entertainment show, Lunchbox, an early daytime programme.In the summer of 1964, Lunchbox came to an end after more than 2,000 episodes. It made way for a new daily soap opera, Crossroads, in which Gordon played the role of motel owner Meg Richardson (later Meg Mortimer), a part which had been developed with Gordon in mind, as she was still under contract to Lew Grade's ATV.First in 1969, and over the following decade, she won the TV Times award for most popular television actress on eight occasions.Gordon was the only member of the Crossroads cast who had a permanent contract;all other cast members were booked on an ad hoc basis. Programme is in ok condition with a few creases and minor tears.
