The Ambassadors Theatre run of the critically acclaimed ALL OR NOTHING - THE MOD MUSICAL, with book by Carol Harrison and music and lyrics by the Small Faces, celebrated its Gala Performance this week. See photos from the event below!
ALL OR NOTHING is the story of four charismatic young kids from East London with humour, attitude, passion and, above all, talent. They became the Small Faces and were rocketed into the big time, only to discover the path to success is paved with exploitation, betrayal and, ultimately, tragedy.
In 1965, a new phenomenon erupted out of London's East End. It was the essence of all that was cool. It was Mod. ALL OR NOTHING follows the rise and demise of the Small Faces, the band who encapsulated all that was Mod - a unique blend of taste and testosterone, clothes-obsessed and street-wise - but most of all, a dedication to rhythm 'n' blues. The musical celebrates the unique sound of this iconic Mod band, with all the Small Faces' hits, including Whatcha Gonna Do About It, Tin Soldier, Lazy Sunday, Itchycoo Park and, of course, All or Nothing.
The show is endorsed and supported by many of those who feature in its story, including singer P.P. Arnold and Steve Marriott's daughter, Mollie Marriott, who is the show's vocal coach and creative consultant.
ALL OR NOTHING - THE MOD MUSICAL is directed by Carol Harrison, with set design by Rebecca Brower, lighting design by Peter Small, sound design by Chris Drohan, choreography by Cameron Hall and musical supervision by Pat Davey. ALL OR NOTHING - THE MOD MUSICAL is produced in the West End by Rock 'n' Roll Productions.
A 29-track cast recording, as well as a limited edition 15-track blue vinyl LP, is available now from the show website, www.allornothingmusical.com, and is also available from the Ambassadors Theatre during the show's run.
