Set in Vienna in the spring-time, featuring a conflict between a father and his son, laced with overtures of romance; and though it all a score comprising some of the most loved waltzes ever writeen by the father and son on whose lives the plot is based, and who are truly regarded as the greatest waltz composers of all time. Among a host of tunes, this show contains both "The Radetzky March" and, of course, "The Blue Danube".
The Great Waltz debuted on Broadway at the Center Theatre on September 22, 1934 and ran for 289 performances. The production was directed by Hassard Short and presented by Max Gordon, with choreography by Albertina Rasch, settings by Albert Johnson and costumes by Doris Zinkeisen together with Marion Claire, Marie Burke and Guy Robertson. The musical was made into a motion picture by MGM in 1938 with a screenplay and new lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.
In 1949 impresario Edwin Lester hired Robert Wright and George Forrest to adapt Strauss's German lyrics and music for a production at the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera. This version was used for a London revival that opened at the Drury Lane Theatre on July 9, 1970 and ran for 605 performances. It was also used for a 1972 film remake.

Great Waltz (The) (1970-07-Drury Lane Theatre-London)
Type de série: Original LondonThéâtre: Drury Lane Theatre (Londres - Angleterre) Durée : 1 an 7 mois 3 semaines Nombre : Première Preview : jeudi 09 juillet 1970Première : jeudi 09 juillet 1970Dernière : mercredi 01 mars 1972Mise en scène : Wendy Toye • Chorégraphie : Edmund Balin • Producteur : Avec : Walter Cassel (Johan Strauss Snr.), David Watson (Schani), Sari Barabas (Helene Vernet), Diane Todd (Resi), Robert Dorning (Dommeyer), Leo Fuchs (Hirsch), Eric Brotherson (Hartkopf)Commentaires : The book was pedestrian, the lyrics unexciting – and sometimes quite dreadful – but the music was glorious, the costumes gorgeous and the scenery entrancing. In spite of the critics it filled the vast Drury Lane for over 600 performances. Originally the producer Harold Fielding tried his best to persuade the best-loved and most famous European operetta star, Anneliese Rothenberger to play Helen Vernet, but the role eventually went to Hungarian opera star Sari Barabas, and Walter Cassel from New York’s Metropolitan Opera.
