With book, music, and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newly, Stop the World - I Want to Get Off is a thought-provoking tale about the fleeting nature of worldly success. The story follows Littlechap through all the highs and lows that life has to offer, and ultimately asks the question of what truly matters.
