Conceived
as
an
intimate
revue
for
four
people,
Joyce
Grenfell
Requests
the
Pleasure
highlighted
the
talents
of
Joyce
Grenfell
and
a
trio
of
dancers
known
as
Three's
Company.
This
1954
revue
was
a
hit
in
the
West
End
and
ran
for
276
performances
before
transferring
to
Broadway.
It
was
the
last
time
that
Joyce
Grenfell
would
appear
in
a
revue,
for
after
this
her
career
was
as
a
solo
performer.
She
was
to
become
a
British
institution,
a
star
who
retained
an
amateur
persona
throughout
her
career
whose
characters
and
wit
were
always
gentle
and
spot
on
but
never
cruel.
First
time
on
CD
this
re-mastered
cast
recording
features
Joyce
singing
from
the
show
‘Three
Brothers',
‘Ordinary
Morning'
and
traditional
American
folk
songs
taught
by
her
American-born
mother
(‘Songs
My
Mother
Taught
Me').
Bonus
tracks
include
Joyce's
‘Du
Maurier'
and
‘The
End
of
The
News'
from
the
1945
revue
Sigh
No
More;
her
duets
with
Norman
Wisdom
‘I
Don't
'Arf
Love
You',
‘Narcissus'
and
the
Joyce
Grenfell
classic
‘I'm
Going
To
See
You
Today'.
We
end
the
CD
with
six
songs
by
Beatrice
Lillie
to
illustrate
her
unique
appeal.
