"This recent hit in London is a free adaptation of the 19th century farce by Johann Nestroy that provided the plot for Thornton Wilder's The Merchant of Yonkers, which ultimately led to Hello, Dolly. The story is basically one long chase, chiefly after two naughty grocer's assistants who, when their master goes off on a binge with a new mistress, escape to Vienna on a spree."
"Apart from 'Jumpers' and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' there may be no script in English
funnier than On the Razzle." -- London Observer
