Dispo: Résumé Génèse
Genèse: Charles H. Hoyt est l'auteur de cette pièce de théâtre-musical, adaptant la pièce de vaudeville d'Evans et Hoey "The Book Agent" (qui provenait d'une réplique de Frank Dumont).
Résumé: L'intrigue limitée impliquait deux arnaqueurs qui convainquaient le capitaine William Kidd qu'il était en fait un médium, servant de véhicule pour des chansons et des danses interpolées, qui varieraient au fil du temps et au fur et à mesure que la pièce voyageait et vieillissait.

Dispo: Résumé Génèse Liste chansons
In addition to the Gaunt and Hoyt score, many songs were interpolated into the score at one time or another during the run, as was fashionable for musicals of the era. The story concerns a widow who accidentally maneuvers several young suburban couples into a big city restaurant and brings romance to them and herself.
Genèse: After almost a year of touring, the musical opened at Broadway’s Madison Square Theater on November 9, 1891, and ran for 657 performances, or just short of two years. This was the longest-running Broadway musical in history up to that time (although London had seen a few longer runs), and it held that record until Irene in 1919. The show was such a hit that several road companies played it throughout the country simultaneously with the Broadway production, and at one point a second company was even opened in New York while the original company was still performing on Broadway. The cast included Trixie Friganza and Harry Conor, who introduced "The Bowery". A version of the show was produced in 1912 under the title A Winsome Widow, and a film adaptation featuring Anna May Wong was made in 1926.
Résumé: A group of young people in San Francisco tell their wealthy guardian, Uncle Ben, that they are going sightseeing in Chinatown. They really plan a night out on the town. They have engaged a chaperone, Mrs. Guyer, but her letter of acceptance is received by Uncle Ben, who misinterprets it as an invitation to a rendezvous. At "The Riche", the restaurant mentioned in the letter, where the young people have booked a table, he gets drunk. He does not see the young couples or Mrs. Guyer, and it turns out that he has forgotten his wallet, which leads to humorous complications. Ben is unable to scold the young people for deceiving him, as they point out that they know about his own night out.
