1492 Up To Date
''1492 Up To Date or Very Near It'' (sometimes titled ''1492''〔Much of the sheet music for the show, published by T. B. Harms, indicates the name of the show as ''1492''.〕) is a burlesque extravaganza created in observance of the quadricentennial of Columbus's finding the New World. The libretto is by R. A. Barnet,〔WorldCat. (Barnet, R. A. (Robert Ayres) 1850?-1933 )〕 with music by Carl Pflueger.〔WorldCat. (Pflueger, Carl 1850–1901 )〕 Its Broadway production was presented by Edward E. Rice's "Surprise Party." The plot centers on Columbus, but in burlesque style, it has little to do with his historical story.〔("Notes of the Stage" ), ''The New York Times,'' May 14, 1893, p. 13. Program for the Tremont Theatre in Boston indicates the show opened on February 8, 1892.〕
The show has been described as "a musical, historical, mellow drama (sic) that threw together bits of opera comique, comic opera, stereopticon projections, extravaganza, farce-comedy, vaudeville, local comedy, burlesque, and even minstrelsy."〔Smith, Cecil Michener and Litton, Glenn. ''Musical Comedy in America'' (1981), Routledge, ISBN 0-87830-564-5, p. 26〕
==Productions==
It was originally written for and presented by the Boston Independent Corps of Cadets in February 1892.〔 The show opened in New York City on May 15, 1893, at Palmer's Theatre, to a sold-out and overflowing audience, produced by Rice's Surprise Party. ''The New York Times'' called the show "wild nonsense" that provoked "wholesome laughter" with "manifest intelligence and abundant humor" and noted that, by the end, the audience was calling for half a dozen encores of each song.〔("''1492'' Is Funny" ), ''The New York Times'', May 16, 1893〕 It ran over two seasons, and in two different houses, for 452 performances. After this, it was performed in revival and toured for several years, with alterations and additional characters. During an 1895 revival, Queen Isabella was portrayed by Marie Dressler.〔Kennedy, Matthew. ''Marie Dressler'' Jefferson, N.C: McFarland, ISBN 0-7864-2844-9, 2006, p. 28.〕
