Zuleika (musical)
''Zuleika'' is a musical with music by Peter Tranchell and book and lyrics by James Ferman. The musical is based on the 1911 novel, ''Zuleika Dobson'', by Max Beerbohm.
==History==
The show was first staged at an undergraduate club at Cambridge in 1954, two years before Beerbohm's death.〔"Zuleika Dobson as a Musical", ''The Times'', 15 February 1957, p. 3〕 The impresario Donald Albery acquired the rights to stage it in the West End, and engaged Osbert Lancaster as designer and Alfred Rodrigues as director.〔 The production opened at the Saville Theatre on 11 April 1957. Beerbohm had died the year before, but his widow, Elisabeth interested herself in the production, and attended the first night.〔Hart-Davis, pp. 280 and 283〕
The plot of the novel was generally followed, except for the conclusion, which was changed to provide a happy ending.〔"Saville Theatre – Zuleika", ''The Times'', 12 April 1957, p. 3〕 Beerbohm had insisted that the name of the heroine should be pronounced "Zuleeka", but for the musical the pronunciation was changed to "Zul''i''ka", which was thought easier to sing.〔Hart-Davis, p. 280〕
The actress originally cast as Zuleika, Diane Cilento, won excellent critical comment when the show previewed in Manchester,〔"Zuleika", ''The Manchester Guardian'', 6 March 1957, p. 7〕 but was taken ill before the show opened in London.〔"Zuleika Postponed", ''The Times'', 27 March 1957, p. 3〕 She was unable to appear, and the part was taken by Mildred Mayne, a performer best known at the time as a model, appearing on posters in the London Underground advertising underwear.〔
