    <h1>Special Notice!</h1>
<p><title>A Song to Sing, O</title>, by Melvyn Morrow, is the story of Gilbert and Sullivan and George Grossmith, the Savoy patter man. This hugely popular star eventually left the Savoy to perform his one man show round America, where he made a fortune. 
<title>A Song to Sing, O</title> is set backstage at the Savoy in George Grossmith&apos;s dressing room. In the most recent rendition, 
Sydney Savoy trouper, Christopher Hamilton, toured New South Wales to ecstatic reviews, and this production is now heading to Dunedin.
Apart from inviting the audience backstage to meet a fascinating nineteenth century showman, the musical does two significant things: it gives Gilbert and Sullivan fans a chocolate box full of their favourites; and for the addicts, it gives them something very special and exciting: George Grossmith&apos;s own songs, which are like discovering new or lost Gilbert and Sullivan gems.
