He made his West End debut in 1936, appearing in the Terence Rattigan's play French Without Tears, which was his first appearance on stage, and established him as the country's top light comedian.

He appeared in London and New York in plays including Bell, Book and Candle (1950), Venus Observed, The Cocktail Party, The Kingfisher, and The Love of Four Colonels, which he also directed. In Maxwell Anderson's play Anne of the Thousand Days and International Superstardom, where he appeared opposite Julie Andrews, he received his first Tony Award for his appearance in Henry VIII's performance at the Shubert Theatre as Henry VIII.

Over the years, I've interviewed many people I didn't like and, more often than not, having met and talked to them changed my mind completely. Simon Cowell was the most popular example. I didn't like what he stood for in the music business. I thought he promoted mediocrity through the so-called reality show for which I have absolute contempt. That belief remains tenacious, and yet, when I interviewed him, I was struck by his honesty, his ability to joke at himself, and his adoration. I felt like taking him home and adopting him, right with Geoffrey Boycott; left with Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison).
