Brian Eastman and Christabel Albery present Carnival of the Animals

Starring Anita Dobson, Director Thom Southerland, Composer Gavin Greenaway, Lyrics Roger Hyams, Original Book Roger Hyams, Revised Book Andrew Marshall

A new musical, starring Anita Dobson, based on the famous music of the French composer Saint-Saens. The tunes from Carnival of the Animals have been audience favourites for many years - The Swan, The Elephant, The Aquarium, Fossils etc. Now this music forms the basis of a new musical featuring the Saint-Saens' animals. Infamous fashion designer, Madamoiselle Parfait (Anita Dobson) opens her new boutique in the backstreet Paris square where the Carnival of the Animals is performed. New animals arrive to revitalise the show but Mlle Parfait has other, more sinsiter, intentions for the animals. But eventually a new show is born and the famous melodies of Monsieur Saint-Saens are given a new treatment.
