Around this production

Such was the care taken for audiences with the British Golden Boy. Although Strouse and Adams’ songs for Lorna (‘Lorna’s Here’ and ‘Golden Boy’) are not the strongest, Martin gave them an intensity and strength that was deserving of something better, but almost everything she did in her long career was deserving of something better. West End Broadway the Golden Age of the American Musical Adrian Wright Boydell B, p. 268
