Sally Ann Howes played Elizabeth Barrett to Jeremy's Robert Browning in this operetta-style musical.

Robert and Elizabeth is a 1964 adaptation of the 1930 play The Barretts of Wimpole Street, which Jeremy later performed on television. Both works tell the story of the romance and elopement of poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett.

A Canada Press review of opening night in Ottawa was kind to Jeremy, but noted that "apart from the stars, the production had few good points":

Jeremy Brett, Sally Ann Howe and Michael Denison demonstrate their star ability as performers but the rest of the production of a British musical comedy drew a cool reception. ... [The National Arts Centre opera house production] suffered from flimsy sets, uncertain lighting, backstage noise and a public address system so shrill it hid many of the lyrics.
