''The Well of Romance'' is a 1930 musical comedy operetta in two acts with book and lyrics by Preston Sturges and music by H. Maurice Jacquet. It was Sturges' fourth production to appear on Broadway. The play originated in an operetta called ''Silver'' with music by Jacquet, which had a very large cast and flopped and sent its backers into bankruptcy. Sturges was to provide a new book and lyrics to use with the existing music and sets. Money for the new production was put up by Sturges, and by Eleanor Hutton, an heiress who had just recently married Sturges.〔, pp.254, 257〕 The Broadway production was staged by J. H. Benrimo, choreographed by Leon Leonidoff and Florence Rogge, with chorus direction by Jacques Pintel. It was produced by G. W. McGregor. ''The Well of Romance'' opened on November 7, 1930 at the Craig Theatre, and ran for just 8 performances, closing on November 12. Appearing in the ensemble was a young Mary Martin in her third Broadway production. ==References== Notes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Well of Romance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
