Twang!!
''Twang!!'' is a musical with music and lyrics written by Lionel Bart and a book by Bart and Harvey Orkin, with assistance from Burt Shevelove. The piece was a spoof of the character and legend of the outlaw Robin Hood. It was a disastrous box-office failure and cost Bart his personal fortune.
After a preview in Manchester, ''Twang'' opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End on 20 December 1965 and closed on 29 January 1966 after just 43 performances, receiving scathing reviews and playing to mostly empty houses.〔Roper, p. 98〕 Bart produced it with Bernard Delfont and John Bryan, and Joan Littlewood directed but quit before it opened. She was replaced by Shevelove and Bart.〔Roper, p. 84〕 ''Twang!!'' is remembered as "the most expensive flop" in West End history up to that time.〔Feiner, Michael. ("Bart's ''Twang!!'' – Most Expensive Flop in London" ), ''The Montreal Gazette'', 2 April 1966〕
==Synopsis==
Robin Hood and his Merry Men attempt to break into Nottingham Castle, in a variety of preposterous disguises, in order to prevent a marriage between the nymphomaniac "court tart" Delphina and the hairy Scots laird Roger the Ugly, arranged for the purpose of securing the loan of Scottish troops for bad Prince John.〔Roper, p. 93〕
