Glamorous Night, a musical play, was first produced in 1935 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in London's West End. It was the creation of Ivor Novello who wrote the original book and music, with lyrics by Christopher Hassall. Novello wrote the show as a starring vehicle for himself and the American opera diva Mary Ellis - it also starred a young Elisabeth Welch. It was a great success and set Novello on the road to writing other musicals in which he could star with a non-singing role including Crest of the Wave, The Dancing Years, Perchance to Dream and King's Rhapsody.
