The Blue Moon (musical)
''The Blue Moon'' is an Edwardian musical comedy with music composed by Howard Talbot and Paul Rubens, lyrics by Percy Greenbank and Rubens and a book by Harold Ellis and by Alexander M. Thompson. It is set in India during the days of the British Raj, and concerns the love of a singing girl for a young British army officer.
It ran in London in 1905, starring Courtice Pounds, and was then played in the English provinces and in America and Australia.
==History==
''The Blue Moon'' was originally staged in Northampton on 29 February 1904, with a book by Harold Ellis. By the time of the London production, Ellis had died, and the book was revised by Alexander M. Thompson (credited as "A. M. Thompson"). The lyrics were by Percy Greenbank and Paul Rubens, and the music by Rubens and Howard Talbot.〔"The Blue Moon", ''The Play Pictorial'', May 1905, pp. 121–36〕
The London production, produced by Robert Courtneidge, opened at the Lyric Theatre on 28 August 1905.〔"Prospective Arrangements", ''The Times'', 26 August 1905, p. 6〕 Despite generally favourable press notices, it ran for only 182 performances, not a significant success by the standards of the Edwardian London stage.〔Taubner, Richard. (''Operetta: a theatrical history'' ). (2003), p. 196, Psychology Press, ISBN 0-415-96641-8〕 Nevertheless, in 1906, a production toured the English provinces,〔 and another opened on Broadway, starring Ethel Jackson.〔("New Musical Show", ) ''The New York Times'', 4 November 1906〕 The J. C. Williamson company toured a production in Australia in 1907–08.〔( "The Blue Moon", ) ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 26 October 1907, p. 17〕
