Paris (1928 musical)
''Paris'' is a musical with the book by Martin Brown, and music and lyrics by Cole Porter, as well as Walter Kollo and Louis Alter (music) and E. Ray Goetz and Roy Turk (lyrics). The musical, which premiered on Broadway in 1928, was Porter's first Broadway hit. The musical introduced the song "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love" sung by the show's star, Irene Bordoni. The story involves a young man from a very proper family in Newton, Massachusetts whose mother is horrified by his intention to wed a French actress.
==History==
According to writer Stephen Citron in his book ''Noel & Cole: the Sophisticates'', it was with ''Paris'' that Cole Porter would be accepted in the "upper echelon" of Broadway composers. Although it was not a revue, the critics could not find the plot. An eleven-piece orchestra was placed in the leading lady's room, singing and dancing as well as providing the orchestral accompaniment. The producer (and also song-writer) Ray Goetz kept the musical in tryouts for almost 8 months, while songs were added and deleted. The song "Let's Misbehave" was dropped in favor of one of Porter's "best known songs", "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love". The censors had insisted that the "Let's Fall in Love" be added to the title.〔Citron, Stephen (2005). ''Noel & Cole: the Sophisticates''. Hal Leonard Corporation. ISBN 0-634-09302-9, pp. 78-79〕 The plot was designed for Irene Bordoni "to show off her wardrobe and ingratiating stage presence".〔Schwartz, Charles. "Cole Porter: A Biography" (1979). Da Capo Press. ISBN 0-306-80097-7, p. 95〕
