Wake Up and Dream
''Wake Up and Dream'' is a musical revue with a book by John Hastings Turner and music and lyrics by Cole Porter and others. The most famous song from the revue is the Porter standard "What Is This Thing Called Love?"
The revue opened in London while Porter's ''Paris'' was still running on Broadway. Producer Charles B. Cochran asked Porter to write the score, even though in their previous dealings Porter had treated him with some discourtesy.〔Schwartz, p. 100〕 Opening on December 30, 1929, the production was the last to open on Broadway in the 1920s.〔Schwartz, p. 199〕
The title later would be used for unrelated films in 1934, 1942 and 1946.
==Synopsis==
The show was a revue with 24 sets, 500 costumes, a large international cast, and "a thread of a book." The song "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love" (performed in London) had "sensual choreography," and was set in front of a large African idol, with a tom-tom beat with Tilly Losch dancing and Elsie Carlisle singing in torch singer style.〔Citron, pp. 80-81〕 The elaborate ballet for the song "Wake Up and Dream" uses folklore and history. "Coppélia" is danced as seen from the wings. According to critic Brooks Atkinson of ''The New York Times'', "A 'Gothic' number, to music by Bach, brings the reverence of the cathedral into the theatre."〔Atkinson, Brooks. "The Play: Revue By Way of London", ''The New York Times'', December 31, 1929, p. 18〕
