Yeah. Oh, what a beautiful morning. Yeah. This is where we're getting the characters singing their feelings.

They're driving the actual plot. Yeah, absolutely. The I want song or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They must be so bored of it by now. Yeah, and My Fair Lady is another one to shout out, which is Lerner and Lowe, isn't it? So we've got other double acts coming in. We've got other creative teams. West Side Story is Bernstein and Sondheim, who are both giants. Yes. Let's talk about the actual sound being made, because we get the arrival of microphones and amplification.

So you're standing at the front of the stage singing to the audience, even though you're talking to your colleague on stage who stood to your side. In the 60s, firstly, we get electrified instruments, so guitars and drums. But that also means that kids are listening to rock and roll now. They don't want to go to the theatre. They want to listen to the Stones. So does the theatre change again?

Bang, bang. Saying that, I would love to, if anyone would like to produce the Van Halen musical, jump with me. I know where to get some trampolines. Let's do this. The 1970s was a time of a bit of crisis in New York. It's not great. There were sort of big campaigns to try and get New York up and running again, bring Broadway back.
