Salad Days UK Tour 2018
Books & Lyrics by Dorothy Reynolds and Julian Slade Music by Julian Slade
Salad Days was first performed at the Theatre Royal, Bristol, in June 1954, and was subsequently transferred into London at the Vaudeville Theatre in August of the same year. It became the UK’s longest running show of it’s time, running for 2,283 performances, and held the title until it was taken over by Oliver! in 1960. The original production won Most Enjoyable Show at the 1955 Evening Standard Awards. Julian Slade and Dorothy Reynolds’ timeless musical is an absolute romp of polite naughtiness and saucy encounters, that puts a smile on your face and a tap in your toes.
If I could see one play every evening for the next 12 months, it would be this one. ★★★★ BRITISH THEATRE

One of the most enjoyable shows ever written. Wonderful, simple and touching.
It's a show that famously inspired a seven-year-old Cameron Mackintosh to fall in love with the theatre, and this production made me realise why that might be.
A production full of the “feel good factor” and right now this is a perfect antidote to the outside world
