Synopsis

For Ada Harris, day-to-day life is spent cleaning houses.

But when she happens upon something that takes her breath away, she sets off on a journey that will change her life...

From the cobbled streets of post-war London to the magical avenues of Paris and beyond, Ada transforms the lives of everyone she meets along the way, but can she let go of her past and finally let her own life blossom?

Press Reviews

"This remains an engaging and graceful musical, filled with hope and positivity."
— Broadway World

"Full of wistful dreaming and old-fashioned kindness."
— Evening Standard

"Suffused with benevolence and dramatised by some unexpected twists this is a heartwarming, eye-prickling cri de coeur masquerading as a musical. Wonderful."
— Express

"Taylor’s music and lyrics are woven so closely with Wagstaff’s words that speech and song seem two tones of colour in one fabric."
— The Guardian

"What a glorious musical bouquet this is."
— The Stage
