Wodehouse in song!

 
 

Have you ever wondered what P.G. Wodehouse was up to before he got around to writing 90+ novels about Jeeves & Wooster, various Mulliners, swine husbandry and savage aunts? Well, he was busy inventing modern American musical theater with Jerome Kern and Guy Bolton, at the Princess Theater on Broadway! And not just with Kern: the long list of Wodehouse collaborators includes Sigmund Romberg, Louis A. Hirsch, Jean Schwartz, Ivor Novello, and Emmerich Kalman.

Some duos might have found it a bit unnerving to discover that the carpeting at the beautiful Dearborn Inn was a nigh-perfect match for their CD’s cover illustration...
