Salad Days is a musical with music by Julian Slade and lyrics by
Dorothy Reynolds and Julian Slade.
It premiered at the Bristol Old Vic in 1954, and transferred to
the Vaudeville Theatre in London on August 5 of that year, running
for 2,283 performances to become the longest-running show in British
musical theatre until overtaken by Oliver!.
The title is taken from William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra: "My
salad days, When I was green in judgement, cold in blood, To say
as I said then!", and the phrase is now used to refer to ones
days of youthful inexperience.
