Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley’s internationally acclaimed musical blockbuster 'The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd' exploded onto the Broadway stage at the Shubert Theatre in 1965, running for an astonishing 231 performances under David Merrick's banner. Conceived as a highly stylized allegorical musical mosaic tracking Sir and Cocky executing a class-conscious sandbox battle of words on a bare platform board ring, it features Anthony Newley's definitive lead performance.
