A Night Out (musical)
''A Night Out'' is a musical comedy with a book by George Grossmith, Jr. and Arthur Miller, music by Willie Redstone and Cole Porter and lyrics by Clifford Grey. The story is adapted from the 1894 French comedy ''L'Hôtel du libre échange'' by Georges Feydeau and Maurice Desvallières. The sculptor Pinglet gets an evening away from his domineering wife and dines with the attractive Marcelle Delavaux. After a series of coincidences and mix-ups, he manages the deception without suffering any adverse consequences.
The musical was presented with success at the Winter Garden Theatre, London, from 1920 to 1921 and then toured in Britain.
==History==
In 1896, "A Night Out", a non-musical adaptation of ''L'Hôtel du libre échange'', opened in London and ran for 500 nights.〔"'A Night Out' – Old Farce in New Guise", ''The Times'', 20 September 1920, p. 8〕 The musical adaptation, produced by George Grossmith, Jr and Edward Laurillard, followed the story of the earlier adaptation (and the French original) closely. The score was by the resident conductor of the Winter Garden Theatre, Willie Redstone, with music for additional numbers provided by the young Cole Porter as some of his earliest professional work.〔("Cole Porter – The Twenties" ), The Stephen Sondheim Reference Guide, accessed 28 February 2011〕
The musical was first presented at the Winter Garden Theatre, London, on 18 September 1920 and ran for 309 performances, closing on 18 June 1921.〔"Theatres", ''The Times'', 18 June 1921, p. 8〕 A touring company presented the piece in the British provinces in 1921, with Norman Griffin in the lead as Pinglet.〔Langford, Samuel. "Prince's Theatre", ''The Manchester Guardian'', 5 April 1921, p. 14〕 In 1925, the musical was produced in the U.S.〔Suskin, Steven.
