"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
So sad to read this. Honestly the most uniquely funny thing I’ve seen in a long time. So much heart. Happy it will live on with the Netflix movie and a *planned* national tour.
I must say that seeing "The Prom" was one of the most enjoyable moments of theatre in my life. It made me laugh. It also made me cry. The entire cast looked like they were putting their all into their respective roles. I was utterly amazed by the veteran cast members. The choreography was quite fast paced and remarkable.
