''London Calling!'' was a musical revue, produced by André Charlot with music and lyrics by Noël Coward, which opened at London's Duke of York's Theatre on 4 September 1923. It is famous for being Noël Coward's first publicly produced musical work and for the use of a 3-D stereoscopic shadowgraph as part of its opening act. The revue's song "Parisian Pierrot", sung by Gertrude Lawrence, was Coward's first big hit and became one of his signature tunes. ==Background and productions== The basis of ''London Calling!'' began at the Swiss resort of Davos in Christmas 1922, when Coward presented a musical outline of a new project involving himself and Lawrence, to benefactor, Edward William Bootle Wilbraham, 3rd Earl of Lathom, who was also a friend of André Charlot.〔(''The History of Latham'' )〕 Lathom had liked it and approached Charlot to produce it. Charlot's West End musical production ''Rats'', which premiered on 21 February 1923 at the Vaudeville Theatre, also starred Lawrence. At first Charlot did not have Coward in mind for performing in ''London Calling!'', but Coward used his contractual right of veto to turn down all other suggestions for leading man. Charlot gave way and paid him a wage of £40 a week with the success of the show.〔Morley, Sheridan. ''Coward'', p. 27, Haus, 2005 ISBN 1-904341-88-8〕〔£40 in 1923 would equate to at least £1,600 in 2007 terms (measuringworth.com )〕 The revue featured 25 sketches, skits, songs and dance routines, with choreographic assistance by Fred Astaire who was working in London's Shaftesbury Theatre with his sister Adele at the time. Astaire taught Coward tap-dancing at the nearby Guildhall School of Music.〔''New Theatre Quarterly'' 39:37 ISSN 0266-464X〕 West End's leading lady Gertrude Lawrence made her singing debut with Coward's musical works, an association that would continue throughout their careers. Lawrence had previously worked with him on the Liverpool production of Gerhart Hauptmann's play ''Hannele'' in 1913.〔Day, Barry (ed.) ''The Letters of Noel Coward''. (Page 34) Random House, 2007 ISBN 978-0-375-42303-1〕 The revue sketches made light of London society at the time, with one sketch called "The Swiss Family Whittlebot" poking fun at The Sitwells, known for their avant-garde poetry and ideas.〔Morley, Sheridan. ''Coward''. (Page 29) Haus, 2005 ISBN 1-904341-88-8〕 The revue ran for 367 performances. Charlot was developing a new production entitled ''André Charlot's London Revue of 1924'' and had replaced Lawrence with singer Joyce Barbour in January 1924, at which point the production was nearing the end of its 5-month run. Coward's next project was the controversial play ''The Vortex'' (1924). 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「London Calling!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
