After leaving Cambridge he went on to the drama school at the Bristol Old Vic.[3] During his time at the Old Vic, Slade wrote incidental music for several productions including Two Gentlemen of Verona and The Duenna. In 1954 he was asked to write a musical for the Old Vic Summer Season. It was then that he came up with Salad Days with Dorothy Reynolds. The show was such a success that it moved to London, where it ran for over 2,288 performances[4] - a record at the time. It was in London that a young Cameron Mackintosh saw the show with his aunt and decided to become a theatrical producer. Slade and Mackintosh stayed close friends throughout his life. Slade's second successful musical, was Free as Air written with Dorothy Reynolds which opened at the Opera House in Manchester in 1957 before moving to the Savoy Theatre, London, where it ran for 417 performances; it is rarely revived.
