Walker and Williams in Dahomey
''Walker and Williams In Dahomey'' (1903-1905) is a black musical written by Jesse A. Shipp as a satire on the American Colonization Society's back-to-Africa movement. Regarded as "the first full-length musical written and played by blacks to be performed at a major Broadway house”, In Dahomey is lauded as a marquee turning point for African American representation in vaudeville theater. It featured lyrics by poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, music by popular ragtime musician Will Marion Cook, and was produced by Harry Seamon and McVon Hurtig. The musical starred leading comedians George Walker and Bert Williams, two iconic figures of vaudeville entertainment at the time. In Dahomey opened in the New York Theater on February 18, 1903. The musical ran for 53 completed performances, including two tours in the United States and one tour of the United Kingdom.〔Riis, Thomas L., Just Before Jazz: Black Musical Theater in New York, 1890-1915 (London: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1989), p. 91〕 In total, ''In Dahomey'' ran for a combined total of four years.〔Hatch, James. V. Black Theatre USA (New York: The Free Press, 1996), pp. 64-65〕
