Theatre Programme Cover: A Vibrant Snapshot of Post-War British Entertainment This theatre programme cover, designed by the renowned artist Arthur Ferrier, offers a glimpse into the lively and exuberant world of the musical revue, "Zip Goes a Million," which premiered at the prestigious Palace Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue in October 1951. The cover image features the show's star, the legendary comedian and entertainer George Formby, playing his signature banjo with a mischievous grin, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful, enthusiastic women and a trail of cash. Formby, dressed in regal attire and wearing a crown, embodied the spirit of post-war British optimism and joy, as the country began to recover from the hardships of the Second World War. The musical extravaganza promised to deliver an evening of laughter, music, and entertainment, with Formby's unique brand of comedy and his iconic banjo playing at the forefront. The cover design, with its bold colors and dynamic composition, perfectly encapsulates the excitement and energy of the production. The ladies, adorned in elegant gowns and glamorous headpieces, add an air of sophistication and allure, while the cascading piles of money symbolize the wealth and prosperity that many Britons were beginning to enjoy in the post-war era. Arthur Ferrier's design, with its historical significance and visual appeal, remains a testament to the rich history of British theatre and the enduring legacy of George Formby as a beloved entertainer. This programme cover is not only a valuable piece of theatre memorabilia but also a vibrant snapshot of a bygone era in British entertainment history.
