''The Balkan Princess'' is a British musical in three acts by Frederick Lonsdale and Frank Curzon, with lyrics by Paul Rubens and Arthur Wimperis, and music by Paul Rubens. It opened at the Prince of Wales Theatre on 19 February 1910. The cast included Isabel Jay and Bertram Wallis. There was a successful Broadway run in 1911, and the show toured widely thereafter. The piece contains some of Rubens's most tuneful music, and the production was mounted with spectacle in its settings, costumes and large chorus of beautiful girls. The show was much like Lonsdale's previous success ''King of Cadonia'', but with the sexes reversed. Famous songs from the show included "Wonderful World" and "Dear, Delightful Woman". ==Roles and original cast== *The Grand Duke Sergius – Bertram Wallis *Count Boethy (Prime Minister of Balaria) – William Lugg *Captain Radomir – Ridgwell Cullum *Lieutenant Varna – C.
