Mr. Wix of Wickham
Musical (1904)
"Mr. Wix of Wickham", Ă©tait un import britannique Ă Broadway: il avait Ă©tĂ© jouĂ© au Borough Theatre, Ă Londres, en 1902. Le livret et les paroles Ă©taient de Herbert Darnley, la musique de George Darnley. Pour la prĂ©sentation Ă New York, le livret et les chansons on Ă©tĂ© fortement rĂ©visĂ©s par John H. Wagner. Les nouvelles paroles Ă©taient de Wagner, Andros Hawley et Jerome Kern, et la musique Ă©tait de Kern, Darnley, Hawley, Max C. Eugene aka Max Dreyfus, Edward E. Rice, et Waller (prĂ©nom inconnu). Il semble que la musique de Seddon et Tours nâait pas Ă©tĂ© retenue pour lâadaptation amĂ©ricaine.
La presse a donnĂ© des avis gĂ©nĂ©ralement nĂ©gatifs ou indiffĂ©rents pour ce musical et il n'a tenu l'affiche que cinq semaines, mais il marque une Ă©tape dans lâhistoire du théùtre musical amĂ©ricain parce quâil reprĂ©sente la premiĂšre partition de Jerome Kern Ă Broadway: il a contribuĂ© Ă 12 des 24 chansons de la production amĂ©ricaine.
