Oh, Coward! is a musical revue in two acts, devised by Roderick Cook, with music and lyrics by Noël Coward. A note from the Noël Coward Music web site:
Oh, Coward! was the last show of his that Noël ever saw. The revue first saw the light of day on May 14, 1970 at the Theatre in the Dell, Toronto, Canada. It was then titled
A Noël Coward Revue, or To Sir, With Love. It was 5 years earlier that Roderick Cook approached Noël with the idea. Roderick had appeared 'as a slightly distraught diplomat' in Noël's last musical The Girl Who Came To Supper on Broadway. Noël replies, 'Dear Roddy, What a lovely idea! Please send me a dummy programme and let's talk.'

__________________________________________________
Following a sold-out engagement last season, Love, Noël -- a cabaret performance, based on Barry Day's book The Letters of Noël Coward and featuring songs by Coward -- returns to the Lovelace Studio Theatre at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.
Starring Harry Groener (Broadway's Crazy for You, Cats, and Oklahoma!) as Noël Coward, and Emmy nominee Sharon Lawrence (NYPD Blue, Broadway's Chicago) as many of the women who were an integral part of Coward's life and influenced his work.
Love, Noël transforms the Lovelace Studio Theater into an intimate lounge with bar service for an entertaining performance that intertwines Coward's music with a witty exchange of letters between him and his family and friends across the years.
