EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of 18th century French high society with this promotional postcard for the musical production of "The Merveilleuses" by Basil Hood. Based on Victorien Sardou's play, which premiered at Theatre des Varietes in Paris on December 16, 1873, this musical transported audiences to the opulent and scandalous era of the Directory. The Merveilleuses, also known as "The Lady Dandies," was first produced at Daly's Theatre in New York on October 27, 1906. The production featured music by Hugo Felix and showcased the extravagant lifestyles and outrageous fashions of the French aristocracy. This postcard, circa 1906, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of this popular and entertaining production. With its ornate gold border and elegant design, it invites viewers to imagine the theatrical spectacle that lay before audiences of the time. The Merveilleuses was a pantomime-musical, a genre that combined music, dance, and elaborate costumes with a lighthearted and often satirical script. The production was known for its witty dialogue, stunning visual effects, and memorable musical numbers, making it a must-see for theatre-goers of the era. Whether you were a fan of the original play or simply looking for an evening of popular entertainment, The Merveilleuses offered a delightful escape into the world of 18th century France. This postcard serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of this classic production and the magic of live theatre.
