A Big Thank you to Witham Carnival for having us again this year! What an absolute pleasure it has been to perform for the town on our float singing traditional London songs, which reflect the location of our upcoming show, Salad Days .
A show which will not be known to many but Salad Days played 2,283 performances and lasted six years in the West End – the longest-running musical until Oliver! came along in 1960 – Salad Days still has an old-fashioned sweetness and positivity that sends people home happier than when they arrived.
It was this show that inspired the then seven-year-old Cameron Mackintosh to fall in love with the theatre, entranced by the whimsical idea that a piano could make people sing and dance, and it is easy to see why.
Also thanks to Simarco for allocating us a lorry for this year's float. And of course a big thank you to our volunteers, it would not have happened without your time and dedication.
