Sigh No More is a 1945 musical show composed, written and produced by Noël Coward. Coward's first postwar musical show starred Cyril Ritchard and Joyce Grenfell. Graham Payn, Coward's longtime partner, sang the best-known song in the show, the wistful "Matelot." The show ran for 213 performances, but it neverthless contained songs that endured, in Coward's cabaret act and elsewhere

  • Sigh no more
