Performance NotesThe stage was invaded several times by screaming fans, especially for Adam Faith.

"As commissionaires' white caps were trampled on by the stiletto-heeled fans, Adam like the professional he is, kept singing the theme from his new film 'Mix Me a Person'. Mopping his brow backstage later. Adam said: 'Phew - they couldn't have got any closer."
(Daily Mirror, 17 September 1962)
