World Première | 3 December 1964 |
Venue | Vaudeville Theatre, London1The revue Chaganog takes its name from its two instigators, the actors Julian Chagrin and George Ogilvie – "Chag-an'-Og". Initially directed by Braham Murray, it premièred first as the official late-night show of the Edinburgh Festival at the King's Theatre on 17 November 1964. According to Chagrin, the show took place against black drapes with props made by himself and costumes done by his wife. As the revue was not a success, its producer, Peter Bridge, decided to bring in the director Alfred Rodrigues to revamp it and put it on in the London West End after a provincial tour. Rodriguez in turn commissioned Barry Kay to provide costumes and scenery. It is this version that was presented at the Vaudeville Theatre, London, on 3 December 1964, and at other venues thereafter. |
