''The Card'' is a musical with a book by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall and music and lyrics by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. Based on Arnold Bennett's 1911 comedic novel of the same name, it chronicles the rise of Denry Machin from washerwoman's son to Mayor of Bursley through initiative, guile, and luck. Cameron Mackintosh's West End production opened on 24 July 1973 at the Queen's Theatre where it ran for 130 performances. Directed by Val May and choreographed by Gillian Lynne, it starred Jim Dale, Millicent Martin, Joan Hickson, Marti Webb, and Eleanor Bron. The 1994 revival at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park, London, starred Peter Duncan, Jessica Martin, Hayley Mills, and Jenna Russell and was extensively re-worked by the original authors with lyricist Anthony Drew.〔Koenig, Rhoda.(THEATRE / Plain dealer:The Card in Regent's Park )''The Independent'', 3 August 1994〕 Amendments were made to the libretto, existing songs were re-written and others dropped and new ones introduced. An original 1973 cast recording was re-released on compact disc by First Night Records in 1992 but is no longer available; a recording of the 1994 production is currently available on CD and digital download. ==Song list (Original Version)== *Hallelujah *Nine Till Five *Lead Me *Universal White Kid Gloves *Nobody Thought of It *Moving On *That Once a Year Feeling *Come Along and Join Us *That's the Way the Money Grows *I Could Be the One *The Card *Opposite Your Smile *Nothing Succeeds Like Success *The Right Man *Nobody Thought of It (Reprise) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Card (musical)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
