Historical Note
Jubilee is a musical that premiered on Broadway in 1935, where it ran until 1936; the book is by Moss Hart, and the lyrics are by Cole Porter. It tells the story of a fictional European country whose monarchy is threatened by a revolution. As a result, the Royal Family sets aside their royal obligations and instead follow their hearts and seek love. Hart and Porter were inspired to write the musical by the then-recent silver jubilee of King George V of the United Kingdom.
The original production of
Jubilee opened in Boston on September 21, 1935 for a pre-Broadway trial run; it opened on Broadway on October 12, 1935, and closed on May 7, 1936. This first production was staged by Hassard Short, directed by Monty Wooley, sets designed by Jo Mielziner, and choreographed by Albertina Rasch and Tony De Marco.
