Stage Musicals
In
the course of her varied career, with her glorious singing voice, it is perhaps
small wonder that Louise Gold has been in many stage musicals. Below the
webmaster has listed as many as they know about, and tried to list them in chronological
order. Beneath this listing can be found those for which the webmaster does not
know the dates. If anyone does know, even the year, do email the webmaster.
