Divorce Me, Darling

Hampton Hill Theatre

Director – Lizzy Ross

Musical Director – Terry Saunders, Carole Smith

Choreographer – Melanie Edwards

Divorce Me, Darling is a musical written by Sandy Wilson.

Set ten years after the events depicted in Wilson’s much better known The Boy Friend, it is, appropriately, a pastiche of 1930s musicals (in particular those of Cole Porter) rather than the “Roaring Twenties” shows (mostly early Rodgers and Hart) that inspired the earlier show.
