I did see this! I don't think that it was the 'worst' musical that I saw around that time. I seem to recall 'Out of the Blue' about the atomic bomb being dropped was up there🤣
31 January, so... the anniversary of the demise of Guy Fawkes? Bit obvious, maybe
How about Ham the Astrochimp going into space?
No, because, in 1996, this was the opening night of The Fields of Ambrosia, a West End musical about... er, a travelling executioner 🧵
