Blue Beard, Jr.
Bluebeard, Jr., or, Fatima and the Fairy is a musical in four acts[1] with a libretto by Clay M. Greene and music by Fred J. Eustis, Richard Maddern, and John Joseph Braham Sr.[2] The plot is loosely based on the folk tale of Bluebeard as told by Charles Perrault.[1] The work was a critical triumph when its premiered at the Grand Opera House, Chicago on June 11, 1889;[1] especially for the elaborate and innovative sets designed by Ernest Albert,[3] and for the performance of its star, the comedian Eddie Foy.[4] The original cast also included Josie Hall in the trouser role of Abdallah.[5][6] After its Chicago premiere, the production toured nationally; including stops at Boston's Tremont Theatre (1889)[7] and Broadway's Niblo's Garden (1890).[8]
