    Play On Words sees performer, composer and lyricist Hal Cazalet honouring the Broadway career of his step Great-Grandfather, P.G. Wodehouse, alongside his favourite songs celebrating the birth of the American musical and theatrical writing highlights of the last 120 years. Featuring the work of P.G. Wodehouse, Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Alan Jay Lerner, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Noël Coward, Dudley Moore, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Alan Ayckbourn, and other luminaries.

    'Plum' Wodehouse defined his inimitable turn of phrase during his first career as a Lyricist on Broadway. The Musicals he wrote with Jerome Kern, the Gershwin Brothers and Cole Porter, between 1915 - 1935, not only defined the Genre, but informed the way he crafted and characterized his novels. Wodehouse always said that he wrote his stories like 'Musical Comedies, without the Music'. He once had five Musicals running simultaneously on Broadway. A record unbeaten to this day.

    Through stories, anecdotes and songs, Hal transports us back to the Golden Age of Broadway and Hollywood through the literary genius of one of the greatest comic writers ever to put pen to paper.
