DESCRIPTION:Nov 3\, 2026\nExtolled by Evelyn Waugh\, George Orwell\, W. H. 
 Auden\, and Christopher Hitchens\, none of them slouches when it came to p
 rose\, P. G. Wodehouse stands tall and beaming as the ace comic novelist o
 f the 20th Century—the creator of the immortal comic duo Bertie Wooster 
 and his imperturbable butler Jeeves\, the rural frolics of the Blandings C
 astle series\, and the delinquent antics of the Drones Club. So prolific w
 as Wodehouse’s fictional production\, so numerous the reprints and telev
 ision adaptations\, that a vital sideline to his long career has played se
 cond fiddle\, to mix metaphors Bertie Wooster-style: his success as a Broa
 dway lyricist and librettist (with Guy Bolton). “Plum\,” as Wodehouse 
 was fondly nicknamed\, collaborated with the top composers of the day—Co
 le Porter\, Jerome Kern\, George Gershwin—and once boasted five hit musi
 cals running on Broadway simultaneously\, a record even Andrew Lloyd-Webbe
 r couldn’t match. His novelistic flair for nimble wordplay\, bouncy rhyt
 hms\, and neatly woven plots was perfect for the musical comedy genre. His
  memoir\, Bring on the Girls\, is a jaunty valentine to his Broadway caree
 r\, its title taken from that ready-made solution to any lull in a musical
 : “Bring on the Girls!” Putting Plum’s musical comedy career front a
 nd center is singer and composer Hal Cazalet\, Wodehouse’s step-great-gr
 andson\, who pays tribute to the old duffer in Play on Words: A Musical Ce
 lebration of P. G. Wodehouse on Broadway\, with Simon Beck on piano. A fes
 tive evening of songs\, stories\, and humorous asides\, Play on Words enjo
 yed two sold-out runs in London and two tours of India. Now it is coming h
 ome to entertain Broadway babies of all ages for one night only at the Lau
 rie Beechman Theatre\, the coziest of cabaret boîtes.
