Boys will be Girls / THE DRESSER
The oldest established all male revue ’This Was The Army’, running for nine years, ever since WWII. The idea was started by comedian Jack Lewis while in the Army where entertainment was improvised, when men made fun of, and made up for the shortage of women by dressing up and pretending to behave as women. Back in civvy street he set out with his wife Hazel to turn the joke into a commercial proposition. Jack provided the raw knockout Army sketches and Hazel (a former dancer) trained the chorus ‘girls’. The original cast has since broken up, apart from Sonnie Dawkes, the 30 year old ‘female’ lead. The popularity of the show has not diminished and audiences are treated to an evening’s entertainment where, as the poster says, ‘Every Lady is a Perfect Gentleman’.
