Music, lyrics & book: Noel Coward

Coward's last fully written musical comedy looks at brash bold Mimi Paragon, working as an American cruise hostess on a British cruise ship. Mimi, former actress and divorcee explains while dealing with passengers, kiddies, phrase books and a younger man, ‘It's part of my job to accost anyone who looks the teeniest bit lonely and make their life living hell’. Sail Away has not been seen in London since its original production.
