Tom Lehrer

I have all his LPs, sadly not originals but definitely old.

Here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhuMLpdnOjY

There’s a newish play about his life at a local theatre. For characters, there’s TL, a female journalist and a pianist.

It doesn’t get bogged down in biography, it’s more just a celebration of his songs.

The cast are great and it breezes along at under two hours including an interval. There is a limited number of performances and it is proving very popular.

The play finishes as Trump becomes USA President for the first time. I don’t expect TL and DJT had a lot in common.

Highly recommended.
