Original book and lyrics by Ernst and Hubert Marischka, Based on the play `Sissy' by Ernst Decsey and Gustav Holm
Composer: Kreisler, Fritz
Version: English book by John Grimsey English lyrics by Tommie Connor Music adapted and arranged by Ronald Hanmer
Based on a famous operetta which was adapted for the Grace Moore film as The King Steps Out, this is the real-life story of the romance between the young Franz Josef of Austria and Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria. The score is rich in melody, one of the best-loved songs being Stars In Your Eyes - which appears in this version as Three Magic Words. Plenty of work here for the whole company - and some minor parts for children in the first act.
