Wit & Whimsy

Wit & Whimsy comprises Alexander’s most popular comedic musical creations from his stage shows and beyond. Many humorously depict aspects of musical theatre itself; others are portraits of crazy characters such as obsessive trainspotters, tone-deaf singers or would-be fairy-tale princesses; others are tongue-in-cheek celebrations of modern day technology, automated telephone answering systems, or the world of cinema; others take the form of tales with twists or tongue-twisting lists. They are all certain to amuse and entertain in equal measure.

Wit & Whimsy boasts several “national treasures”; numerous Olivier and WhatsOnStage Award winners and nominees; and the current stars of many West End and touring musicals. The complete line-up is: Simon Bailey, Lucy May Barker, Ian Bartholomew, Gina Beck, David Bedella, Tracie Bennett, Sanne den Besten, Christopher Biggins, Richard Carson, Anna-Jane Casey, Phil Daniels, Cassidy Janson, Amy Lennox, Sam Lupton, Miriam Margolyes, Craig Mather, Laura Pitt-Pulford, Nigel Planer, Ben Richards, Lauren Samuels, Oliver Savile, Gemma Sutton and Emma Williams.

The album is produced by Mike Dixon, who has worked as Musical Supervisor on many long-running shows around the world.

Wit and Whimsy hit the number 1 spot on iTunes’ comedy chart on the day of its release.

A live show featuring performances of songs from the album took place at The Hippodrome, London on 30th April 2017.
