Boys from Syracuse, The (1938), a musical comedy by George
Abbott (book), Richard
Rodgers (music), Lorenz
Hart (lyrics). [Alvin Theatre, 235 perf.] The twins Antipholus of Ephesus ( Ronald Graham) and Antipholus of Syracuse ( Eddie Albert), who were separated when young, have taken on twin servants, both named Dromio ( Teddy Hart and Jimmy Savo). When the pair from Syracuse come to Ephesus, a comedy of errors ensues that involves the wife Adriana ( Muriel Angelus), her sister Luciana ( Marcy Wescott), and others in the town.
Notable songs: This Can't Be Love; Sing for Your Supper; Falling in Love with Love; Dear Old Syracuse; What Can You Do with a Man? Unlike the later
Kiss Me, Kate, which used much of its Shakespearean source,
The Boys from Syracuse employed only a single line from
The Comedy of Errors, which Savo popped out from the wings to alert audiences to. The Abbot produced‐directed show was hailed as “the best musical in many a year” by
Time, and a 1963 Off‐Broadway revival ran even longer than the original, though a 2002 version on Broadway was not well received.
