Rio Rita (musical)
''Rio Rita'' is a 1927 stage musical with a book by Guy Bolton and Fred Thompson, music by Harry Tierney, lyrics by Joseph McCarthy, and produced by Florenz Ziegfeld. This musical united Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey as a comedy team and made them famous.
It premiered on Broadway on February 2, 1927 at the new Ziegfeld Theatre and, after moving to the Lyric Theatre and Majestic Theatre, closed on April 7, 1928 after 494 performances, a very long run for its time. In Sydney, Gladys Moncrieff appeared in a successful production at the St James Theatre. The musical premiered in London's West End on April 3, 1930 at the then newly opened Prince Edward Theatre.
The musical was made into a film in 1929, ''Rio Rita'', starring Bebe Daniels and John Boles along with the team of Wheeler & Woolsey. Based on the success of this film, Wheeler & Woolsey were also given contracts to star in a series of comedies. Another film based on the musical was made in 1942.
== Background ==
''Rio Rita'' may be said to be one of the last, great, "light musical comedies" or "Follies-based" type of musical. With the introduction of ''Show Boat'', later in 1927—as well as the subsequent introduction of George Gershwin's musicals that year and thought the early 30's -- the American musical became much more a dramatically cohesive "musical play". This form reached its maturity in the Rodgers and Hammerstein productions, beginning with ''Oklahoma!'' and culminating with ''South Pacific''.
