Around this production
By Jeeves, originally Jeeves, is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and lyrics and book by Alan Ayckbourn. It is based on the series of novels and short stories by P. G. Wodehouse that centre around the character of Bertie Wooster and his loyal valet, Jeeves. Premiering on April 22, 1975, at Her Majesty's Theatre in London, the show flopped initially, running for only a month. After an extensive rewrite, the show was produced in 1996 in both London and America, and premiered on Broadway in 2001.
The reviews were not auspicious. Some critics applauded the way By Jeeves brought the Wodehouse characters to life, but most thought the story slight and inconsequential. The Mikado To Matilda British Musicals On the New York Thomas S Hischak Rowman L, p. 74
