MAN WITH A LOAD OF MISCHIEF was an off-Broadway success in 1966/67, then played London's West End in 1968/69. For nearly forty years it has been staged in Alice Cannon and Raymond Thorne, 1966 various theatres, indeed has been done around the globe, mostly in English-speaking countries. It has been revived three times in New York, most recently in a 'concert production' at the York Theatre, in the fall of 2003. It has proven to have a timeless charm and continuing relevance, a loyal following too large to be merely a 'cult' following. 

The 1966 Original Cast recording, now nearly impossible to find even in rare record shops, excluded much of the show's music, due to the space limitations of vinyl LP records. 

A NEW CD
, released in July of 2004, includes much more material than the Original Cast Album (over a full hour of music).

This site offers information for those already familiar with this very special musical, as well as an introduction to several generations of newer theater-goers.
