Hollywood Pinafore

''Hollywood Pinafore, or The Lad Who Loved a Salary'' is a musical comedy in two acts by George S. Kaufman, with music by Arthur Sullivan, based on Gilbert and Sullivan's ''H.M.S. Pinafore''. It opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre on May 31, 1945, and closed on July 14, 1945 after 52 performances. It was directed by Kaufman himself and starred Shirley Booth, Victor Moore, George Rasely, and William Gaxton. The adaptation transplants the maritime satire of the original ''Pinafore'' to a satire of the glamorous world of 1940s Hollywood film making, but Sullivan's score is retained with minor adaptations.
According to Howard Teichmann's 1972 biography ''George S. Kaufman: An Intimate Portrait'', Kaufman had the inspiration for ''Hollywood Pinafore'' during a poker game with his friend Charles Lederer. While Lederer was arranging his cards, he idly sang a few bars of "When I Was a Lad" from ''Pinafore'' while ad-libbing a new lyric: "Oh, he nodded his head / and he never said 'no' / and now he's the head of the studio." Kaufman insisted on paying Lederer a token fee for the idea of transplanting ''Pinafores setting to a Hollywood studio.
Although Kaufman's lyrics are witty, the book is static for a musical. However, it has been revived a number of times in recent years, including a 1998 "Lost Musicals" staged concert production at the Barbican Centre in London.〔Bradley (2005), p. 170〕〔(History of Lost Musicals ) lostmusicals.org, accessed June 1, 2009〕
==Synopsis==
Starlet Brenda Blossom, pining for a lowly writer, Ralph, is promised in marriage by her father (a director looking to advance his own career) to the studio head, Joseph Porter. If she marries Ralph, she'll be tossed out of Hollywood and forced to make a living on the stage. Fortunately, everything turns out for the best when it is discovered that a mix-up in Louhedda Hopsons' gossip column was responsible for Ralph's fall from grace. In reality, it was Ralph who was meant to head the studio instead of Porter.
