from Part II - From Winter to Spring
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2024
Among the major musical theatrical events of early 1924 was the opening of André Charlot’s Revue of 1924 on Broadway. The London import focused on its performers and intimate character and included the US debuts of Gertrude Lawrence, Beatrice Lillie and Jack Buchanan. An Italian version of Madame Pompadour opened in Milan, as did the zarzuela La leyenda del beso (The Legend of the Kiss) in Milan. New musical comedies came to Broadway, and The Three Graces, an operetta adaptation, played in London. The major event, though, was the premiere of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
