Making his stage début at the age of nine and performing professionally by sixteen, Hicks joined a theatrical company and toured America before starring in Under the Clock in 1893, the first musical revue ever staged in London. Following this, he starred in a revival of Little Jack Sheppard at the Gaiety Theatre, London which brought him to the attention of impresario George Edwardes. Edwardes cast Hicks in his next show, The Shop Girl, in 1894. Its success led to his participation in two more of Edwardes's hit "girl" musicals, The Circus Girl (1896) and A Runaway Girl (1898), both starring Terriss. He first played the role of Ebenezer Scrooge in 1901 and eventually played it thousands of times onstage. Hicks, along with his wife, joined the producer Charles Frohman in his theatre company and wrote and starred in a series of extraordinarily successful musicals, including Bluebell in Fairyland (1901), Quality Street (1902), The Earl and the Girl (1903) and The Catch of the Season (1904).The most expensive item with a signature of Seymour Hicks (SIR SEYMOUR HICKS 1871 - 1949 ACTOR / PLAYWRIGHT / PERFORMER ,SIGNED LETTER) was sold in April 2020 for £25.00 while the cheapest item (AUTOGRAPH SEYMOUR HICKS - 1935 SCROOGE HAND SIGNED ALBUM PAGE) found a new owner for £0.99 in January 2023.
