1975: Jeeves

Andrew Lloyd Webber conceived the idea of turning P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories into a musical. Originally, he was to work with his then-partner, Tim Rice, but Rice backed out of the project. Eventually Lloyd Webber teamed up with famed British playwright Alan Ayckbourn, and the two of them began work with the personal blessing of Wodehouse. Ayckbourn utilized characters and plot lines from several Jeeves and Wooster stories, and Lloyd Webber provided a strong period score.

The show opened in London on 22 April 1975 at Her Majesty's Theatre, starring David Hemmings as Bertie Wooster and Michael Aldridge as Jeeves. It received mixed-to-poor reviews and closed after less than a month and 38 performances, on 24 May 1975. Several critics noted that the authors failed to develop the title character, Jeeves not even having a solo song.

The original cast album (MCA Cat. No. MCF 2726) was recorded and released, but it is extremely hard to find. Lloyd Webber, reportedly acting on the advice of Alan Jay Lerner, withdrew the recording in order to be able to reuse some of the musical material in subsequent shows. Some London theatre fans tell (likely apocryphal) stories of Andrew Lloyd Webber going around to the London record shops to buy up the remaining copies of the album. Alan Jay Lerner (August 31, 1918 – June 14, 1986) was an American Broadway lyricist and librettist. ...

Two songs from the score managed to find a life after the original production: "Half a Moment" was later recorded by Lloyd Webber's second wife, Sarah Brightman on the album The Songs That Got Away; and the melody of "Limericks" was reused in Song and Dance, first as the finale "When You Want to Fall in Love", and later as a new song in the first act, "Unexpected Song".

1996: By Jeeves

In 1996, Lloyd Webber and Ayckbourn decided to revisit the show, jettisoning most of the score and the entire original book. Only two songs from the original show remained, "Banjo Boy" and "Half a Moment". The other songs and musical interludes were mostly new compositions by Lloyd Webber (there was a reworking of a song from The Likes of Us called "Travel Hopefully".

Retitled By Jeeves, the rewritten version re-opened on 1 May 1996 at the Stephen Joseph Theatre-in-the-round in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, an English seaside resort. Audience reaction was generally enthusiastic so the show moved on 2 July 1996 to London for a 12 week season at the fairly intimate Duke of York's Theatre.
