Oh! What a Lovely War is Joan Littlewood's pioneering 1963 musical about the first world war which not only changed attitudes towards the conflict, it remade British theatre. Its originality lay in the fact that it viewed the first world war from the perspective of the common soldier, and that it counterpointed songs from the period with grim battle statistics that appeared in a running newsreel tape above the stage. This recording is from the original 1963 LP. http://castalbums.org/recordings/Oh-What-a-Lovely-War-1963-Original-London-Cast/1843/ Performers: Barry Bethell, Avis Bunnage, Fanny Carby, Judy Cornwell, Larry Dann, Griffith Davies, John Gower, Tony Holland, Godfrey James, Myvanwy Jenn, Colin Kemball, Murray Melvin, Brian Murphy, Mary Preston, George Sewell, Victor Spinetti, Bob Stevenson.
