2. Witches and Whales
Behind the scenes of musical theatre's biggest flops like Norwegian rock opera 'Which Witch'. With Paul Roseby. From May 2004.
Paul Roseby celebrates more of the worst musicals ever to grace the stage.
There are some real treats in store as Kit Hesketh-Harvey admits to not just one but two flops on his CV!
The first is Y - a bizarre cabaret affair starring a quick change illusionist! The second is Which Witch, a goth-rock-opera written by two Norwegians who scored nul points in the Eurovision Song Contest.
It's not just Kit who 'fesses up. Renowned Musical Director Martin Lowe was working on Which Witch - and also on Cameron Mackintosh's first flop Moby Dick, a musical about a group of St Trinian's school girls putting on a show about that big old whale.
No blushes are spared as Paul Roseby continues his trawl through the most fabulous of musical theatre's flops.
