"The Card" is a musical with a book by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall and music and lyrics by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent.

Based on Arnold Bennett's 1911 comedic novel of the same name, it chronicles the rise of Denry Machin from washerwoman's son to Mayor of Bursley through luck, guile, initiative, and a fair bit of chutzpah.

Cameron Mackintosh's West End production opened on July 24, 1973 at the Queen's Theatre. Directed by Val May and choreographed by Gillian Lynne, it starred Jim Dale, Millicent Martin, Joan Hickson, Marti Webb, and Eleanor Bron.

The 1994 revival starred Peter Duncan, Jessica Martin, Hayley Mills, and Jenna Russell.

An original 1973 cast recording is available on compact disc from First Night Records.
