Babes In Toyland #2



Between 1929 and 1939, there were several Broadway revivals of Babes in Toyland including one that took place at the Al Jolson Theater. (The cast of the 1939 revival included the Singer Midgets). Most of these revivals used the stock-amateur rental package, added new characters and interpolated popular musical numbers into the score.

A few years ago, the original 1903 version of BABES IN TOYLAND (done using the original orchestrations and a cast of top notch singers) was presented in a live concert performance in St. Paul, Minnesota. A stereo recording of that performance is currently and inexpensively available. Here’s a link with information on how to order a copy: http://www.operapassion.com/cd92311.html.
