When Bertie Wooster's banjo is stolen just before he is to perform at a church concert, his unflappable valet Jeeves suggests that Bertie entertain the audience by telling the story of recent romantic misadventures. Through flashbacks, Bertie recounts his bungled attempts to help friends with their love lives, each scheme going spectacularly wrong until the ever-resourceful Jeeves engineers solutions to every disaster.

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.
