Description: This is a rare May 17th, 2004 programme (playbill) from the two-week, Provincial Tour engagement of the ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, JIM STEINMAN, PATRICIA KNOP and GALE EDWARDS musical "WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND" at the Milton Keynes Theatre in Milton Keynes, England. (The Original West End production opened July 1st, 1998 at London's Aldwych Theatre and ran for 1044 performances. This revival would open March 27th, 2006 at London's Palace Theatre and close August 12th, 2006 after a limited engagement.) ..... The musical starred GLENN CARTER and ROSIE JENKINS and featured RICHARD SWERRUN, GARRIE HARVEY, DAVID ROBBINS, STEVE FORTUNE, SIOBHAN MORGAN, CRAIG ARMSTRONG, MICHELLE McAVOY, DAVID LYNDON, MARTIN NEELY, OLIVER MARSHALL, GEORGIE FELLOWS, PAUL HUTCHINSON, GRAEME KINNIBURGH, POLLI REDSTON, DEBBIE KORLEY, MICAELIA BAPTISTE, SCOTT MURTAGH, LEROY RICARDO JONES, LINZIE COOPER and ASHLEY LLOYD ..... Side note: The World Premiere engagement of "Whistle Down the Wind" opened on December 12th, 1996 at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C. but due to mostly negative reviews, the Broadway opening that had been scheduled for April 17th, 1997, was subsequently cancelled. The Washington, D.C. engagement was promoted as a World Premiere engagement even though Andrew Lloyd Webber's show had been first produced by the Beauchamp Music Group in Gloucestershire, England in April 1992 and the same month at the First UK Festival of Musicals at Buxton. This was followed by productions at the New Olympus Theatre in Gloucester (October 1992), the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy, Scotland (August 1993), the George Square Theatre in Edinburgh, Scotland (August 1993) and Sadlers Wells in London (December 1993). The Washington, D.C. production received a revised script with a new book by Patricia Knop, thus the claim of a World Premiere event .....
