Mr. Wix of Wickham
Musical (1904)


Mr. Wix of Wickham
Musique : Herbert Darnley
Musique additionnelle : Jerome Kern
Paroles : John H. Wagner
Livret : Herbert Darnley • John H. Wagner
Production à la création :

"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 n’ait pas Ă©tĂ© retenue pour l’adaptation 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 l’histoire du théùtre musical amĂ©ricain parce qu’il reprĂ©sente la premiĂšre partition de Jerome Kern Ă  Broadway: il a contribuĂ© Ă  12 des 24 chansons de la production amĂ©ricaine.
