I've only ever seen one of their shows (it is operetta?) - and that was The Pirates of Penzance, with George Cole as the Major (which ages me!)
In fact Wikipedia says "The production opened at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, on 26 May 1982, to generally warm reviews, for a run of 601 performances. Notable among the cast were George Cole and Ronald Fraser as the Major-General; Pamela Stephenson as Mabel; Michael Praed and Peter Noone as Frederic; Tim Curry, Timothy Bentinck, Oliver Tobias and Paul Nicholas as the Pirate King; Chris Langham as the Sergeant of Police; Annie Ross as Ruth; Bonnie Langford as Kate; and Louise Gold as Isabel.[108]"
... so there were more "names" in it than I am remembering!
I thoroughly enjoyed it and at the time said it would be something I'd do again, but I never have...
