GOING PLACES a musical comedy in 2 acts by Guy Bolton and Fred Thompson. Music and lyrics by Vivian Ellis. Savoy Theatre, London - 8th October, 1936 - 14th November, 1936 (44 performances) SYNOPSIS Uncle Thomas Bax is financing his nephew Freddy’s music studies in Paris, and turns up unannounced to see how Freddy is getting along. Freddy of course has been having a gay old time, not studying at all, and all his “compositions” have actually been composed by his friend Gerry Tucker. Emergency measures are called for: Freddy’s sweetheart, Jeanne Laporte, is called upon to impersonate Madame Petrova, the famous opera star and to give a concert of “Freddy’s songs” for Uncle Thomas’s benefit. All this subterfuge causes problems between Gerry and his own girlfriend, Sheila, and some major problems with Riccardo, Jeanne’s fiercely jealous lover, and even more when the real Olga Petrova arrives on the scene.
