	Florodora
		Florodora was one of the first successful Broadway musicals of the 20th century.
		Originally opened in London on November 11, 1899, it moved to New York in 1900 and ran for 552 performances.
		A good deal of the success of the musical was attributed to the pulchritude of its sextet of chorines, called "the English Girls" in the score, but soon popularly dubbed the Florodora girls.

		Florodora is a small island in the Philippines where young native girls produce the ‘Florodora’ perfume.
		Florodora has one of those flimsy and charming operetta plots which rely on the lure of the exotic setting and the rose tints of romance, all mixed up with a healthy slosh of wit and silliness.
		"Florodora was the big hit of the musical theatre on both sides of the Atlantic at the end of the nineteenth, and beginning of the twentieth, century.

	Stage Musicals 1900-1910
		The first theatrical sensation of the new century was the British musical comedy Florodora (1900 - NY 553), the story of a young woman seeking romance and the restoration of a stolen inheritance.
		The original Florodora sextet – Daisy Green, Marjorie Relyea, Vaughn Texsmith, Margaret Walker, Agnes Wayburn, and Marie Wilson – inspired all sorts of publicity.
		Florodora was revived on Broadway several times, including a 1920 production that updated the material and turned the sextet into flappers.

		That play was a romantic musical about a perfume called florodora, which came from a plant called florodora, which was grown on the island of Florodora in the Philippines.
		In fact, Florodora was one of the plays that made Broadway famous, as people started to look upon that street as the place of prestige for the famous actors and actresses of the stage to do their work.
		But for the author of the book, Florodora, and for the writer of the play, we are told that all the riches that they gained from their phenomenal success, became gambling money, which resulted in poverty for them both, with neither of them able to recover what they once had for such a short time.

	Musical Theater Research Project: Florodora
		In the plot of this delightful 1899 musical comedy, Florodora was a perfume derived from the Florodora flower which was grown on the Florodora island of the Philippines.
		Florodora opened in London on November 11, 1899, and ran for a little over one year--an impressive run for that time.
		But in 1899, they were at the peak of their abilities, and the quartet produced one of the few shows from that era worthy of revival today.

		Florodora was Stuart's unparalleled success, and try as he could to repeat his successful recipe with this showstopper he never quite equalled the grade.
		With Florodora for instance, Rubens provided the lyrics to half the songs as well as the music to 'I've an Inkling' and 'Queen of the Philippine Islands'.
		It is also a mystery why Stuart would only conduct the first Act of the show on a first night yet later with a different show would spend two months of its run in the pit.

	Leslie Stuart
		Leslie Stuart spent some of his earliest professional musical moments as a pianist at Manchester's Ship Inn and then, from the age of 14, as church organist for seven years at St John's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Salford and a further seven at the Church of the Holy Name in Manchester.
		Florodora, written in collaboration with London's most fashionable librettist, Owen Hall, and produced by neophyte producer Tom Davis at the Lyric Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue, was a musical-comedy sensation.
		In his later years he continued to write, and although he would not show his final work, Nina, to anyone, both it and The Girl from Nysa were mooted for production both before and after his death without ever coming to the stage.

		Statue of "Diana" (1899) that was originally atop Madison Square Garden.
		As a Florodora chorus girl on Broadway, Nesbit caught the eye of acclaimed architect -- and notorious womanizer -- Stanford White, then 47 to her 16.

		In an era when sex was sex and public entertainment was most certainly not sex save in the most abstract terms, the "Florodora Sextette" was hot, hot stuff.
		We don't know exactly what happened to Miss Walker, but Broadway legend has it that all six pretty maidens married millionaires; the odds are certainly in her favor.

		It is the authors' fond hope, in portraying such girlish fun, "to capture the spirit of New York's glittering and legendary years." To their idyllic plot they have added an atmosphere as romantic as a pair of handcuffs, a sty's-the-limit vulgarity.
		To those who were not of theatre age in 1900, / Must Love Someone gives the impression that the Florodora Sextet included such glamor girls of the past as Red Light Annie, Chicago May and Lizzie Borden.
