The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd
The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd is a
musical with a book, music, and lyrics by
Leslie Bricusse and
Anthony Newley.Resembling a
music hall production more than a
book musical, the
allegorical plot examines the maintenance of the
status quo between the upper and lower classes of
British society in the 1960s. Since Sir forever is changing the rules of the game of life, downtrodden young Cocky always gets the short end of the stick. Assisting Sir is his eager disciple Kid, anxious to pick up bits of wisdom while helping keep Cocky in his place.
