How to Succeed 1963 London Production

Does anyone have a cast list for this production?
Dare I hope for a production photo or cast album cover?
Was it well received? How to Succeed happens to be one of my all time favorite shows.
Also, when I was working on a production of it years ago the musical director told me that she had heard a rumour that Frank Loesser didn't write the score, but that it was ghost written. I really don't believe it, but I wonder if anyone has ever heard this rumour?

I should actually promote the show while I am at it..

Shaftsbury Thatre March 28th, 1963
520 performances

The London Cast Recording has the same cover design (front and back) as the Broadway album.

While it does seem that Loesser may have written "A New Town Is a Blue Town" and "There Once Was a Man" — John Raitt did state that — I really think that the preponderance of evidence is that he didn't write "My White Knight." He may have given Willson some advice on how to restructure it, but I really don't think he can be said to have written it. Among other things, Barbara Cook says that "My White Knight" was all Willson.

Thank you all for your information and taking the time.
it's one thing to look up facts and figures, but it's another thing altogether to get information from actual people. And every once in a while an eyewitness account of a performance is far more interesting.

Fenchurch, I was at the UCLA research library yesterday with some time to kill so I started looking through the 1960's bound volumes of "Theatre orld" from London and in the 1963 volume, there is an extensive article with about 20 photos from "How To" and in the next issue a very long article about young Warren Berlinger. Maybe you can approach your library and see if they have bound copies....

You may remember Warren Berlinger in his older incarnation, popping up on show like Happy Days, always doing the same routine which was basically "I coulda had a career, I shoulda hadda a career, I woulda had a career..." or something like that.

I only have the film to base Michelle and Robert on for H2$ and I think her Rosemary was unexciting. I thought his Finch was brilliant. He had so much charm. They just didn't go well together. Plus, she was so much taller then he was. I also think in the revival, Mullally was an adorable Rosemary. Broderick could read the phonebook on the stage and be fantastic.

Warren Berlinger,and Billy De Wolfe also starred in the Patty Duke film, "Billie".
