Did you know, for instance, that one of the best recordings of Les Miserables is in Hebrew? Or that Mel Brooks wasn''t the first person to want to make a musical of The Producers? (That claim goes to Eric Idle.) Or the ridiculous story of the huge purpose-built theatre constructed in Holland to house a flop about Grace Kelly?

      - The hundred greatest musicals
      - Numbers to listen for
      - Snapshot plot summaries
      - Ten terrible musicals
