We believe that this huge queue was for Danny Kaye tickets as reported in The Manchester Guardian on May 9th 1949: “A state of siege, which latest for twenty-four hours, at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, was lifted last night when the last of the tickets for the Danny Kaye show, which opens June 13, was sold. All day long a six-deep queue of people had stretched along Oxford Street into Portland Street, and Whitworth Street, completely surrounding the block.” For more information on how to access on-line reference sources such as the Manchester Guardian please visit: www.manchester.gov.uk/info/500140/library_online_services...
