All Star Productions

All Star Productions is delighted to Present the first UK Stage Production of Irving Berlin and Moss Hart's 1932 Musical Comedy Face The Music.

Producer Hal Reisman desperately seeks backers for his Broadway show. Because of the Great Depression, once rich investors are 'Lunching at the Automat'. In his search, Reisman meets crooked policemen who need to get rid of their illegal money before they are found out. The corrupt police chief Martin van Buren Meshbesher and his eccentric wife Myrtle become investors in the show, expecting it to be a failure. However, when risqué material is added the show is raided and the government tries to close it and the flop becomes an instant hit because of the publicity.

With both music and lyrics composed by Irving Berlin (White Christmas, Top Hat, Call Me Madam), the snappy musical features such memorable numbers as Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee, Soft Lights and Sweet Music, Manhattan Madness, and I Say Its Spinach (and the Hell with It).
