''My Lady Molly'' is a 'comedy opera' in two acts with a libretto by George H. Jessop, with additional lyrics by Percy Greenbank and Charles H. Taylor, and music by Sidney Jones. The story centers around Lady Molly Martingale, a vivacious young woman, who disguises herself as a man to win the man she loves. The piece opened at the Theatre Royal in Brighton, England, on 11 August 1902 and then at Terry's Theatre in London on 14 March 1903, under the management of Frederick Mouillot, running for 342 performances. It starred Sybil Arundale and featured Decima Moore. It also enjoyed tours and had a brief Broadway run. ''My Lady Molly'' was the last successful English comic opera in the tradition of Alfred Cellier's ''Dorothy'' and Arthur Sullivan's ''Haddon Hall'', as distinguished from the style of the lighter Edwardian musical comedies of the period.
