This famous “lost” musical, a hit in London in the thirties and later a triumph for Gertrude Lawrence and Elizabeth Welch, was recently restaged to bravos in London. Its whimsical story follows innocent Evangeline Edwards as she bids farewell to a Swiss finishing school and sets off across Europe and looking for love and adventure. She gets into one scrape after another and is rescued by a series of unsuitable men (a French producer, a Russian musician, an Austrian nudist, an Italian count, a Greek magnate, a Turkish Pasha and a eunuch – all played by the same actor).
