  • ‘a completely spellbinding musical event’ The Stage

    ‘a fascinating collector’s item’ The Guardian

    ‘a lovely heartfelt production that takes you into the soul of a lost gem’ Independent

    ‘about as fabulous a production as Rodgers and Hammerstein’s lost child could hope for’ Time Out

    ‘thrilling staging, spectacular dance and brilliantly inventive humour’ Broadway World

    ‘an immaculate production’ Sunday Times

    ‘a constant joy, beautifully performed by a splendid cast’ Sunday Express

    ‘a silkily stylish production, elegant, energetic and at times wonderfully witty’ Evening Standard

    In 1905 in a small Midwestern town, the wife of a local doctor gives birth to a baby boy, Joseph Taylor Jr. Allegro chronicles nearly four decades in the life of this average Joe – through his childhood, from college dorm to marriage altar, and on to his own medical career; from the tranquility of his hometown to the hectic din of big city life and a mid-life discovery of who he is and what his life is truly about, ultimately learning the most important lessons of all – the value of family, that money isn’t everything and that home really is where the heart is.

    With a gorgeous, epic score by Richard Rodgers and a ground-breaking book by Oscar Hammerstein II, Allegro opened in 1947 to the highest advance in Broadway history. It was hailed as “A work of great beauty and purity” by The New York Times. Almost 70 years later, this extraordinary musical is finally getting its European première.

    Presented by special arrangement with R&H Theatricals Europe.
