The Likes of Us (Theatre)	comment	The Likes of Us is the little-known, first-ever Webber/Rice musical. It is based on the true story of Thomas John Barnardo, a philanthropist who founded homes for destitute children in Victorian London.Written in 1965, lack of funding prevented the musical being performed until 2005. The play is now almost exclusively staged by amateur theatre groups.

The Likes of Us (Theatre) / int_2f551929	comment	Ode to Intoxication: Parodied with "Have Another Cup of Tea", sung by the now-reformed gin palace residents, which sounds like just another song about drinking away your troubles, as could be heard in any number of British pubs... except here, the liquid they're drinking is tea.

The Likes of Us (Theatre) / int_f2d29e14	comment	Evil Brit: The "upper-class villain" side of the trope is demonstrated quite well by the Cabinet (apart from Shaftesbury), while the "working-class hooligan" side of things is demonstrated in the cockneys who oppose Barnardo. Impressively, they manage to bring across these stereotypes in a play where all of the heroes are also British.
