EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare for an evening of laughter, music, and merriment with the legendary George Formby in his starring role in "Zip Goes a Million"! This vibrant and colorful theatre programme cover from the 1950s showcases a caricatured image of Formby, the beloved British comedian and banjo-playing sensation, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls and pots of cash. The playful scene captures the fun and lighthearted spirit of the music revue, which was sure to have audiences laughing and clapping along to the catchy tunes and clever humor. Formby, known for his distinctive nose, bushy eyebrows, and signature costume of baggy plus-fours and a straw boater, was a staple of British entertainment in the 1930s and 1940s. His unique blend of music and comedy, often featuring his signature instrument, the banjo, made him a favorite among audiences of all ages. The title of the revue, "Zip Goes a Million," suggests a theme of wealth and prosperity, further emphasized by the abundance of cash depicted in the image. The use of the number "million" in the title likely refers to the success and popularity of the show, as well as the wealth of talent and entertainment on display. This historical theatre programme cover is a fun and fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of live entertainment during the post-war era. With its lively energy, humorous imagery, and nod to the enduring appeal of George Formby, it's no wonder that "Zip Goes a Million" was a hit with audiences of the time.
