Sunny
Sunny (1925), a musical comedy by Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein (book, lyrics), Jerome Kern (music). [New Amsterdam Theatre, 517 perf.] Sunny Peters ( Marilyn Miller) is an American circus performer working in England, where she meets and falls in love with fellow American Tom Warren ( Paul Frawley). When Tom has to return to the States, Sunny decides to follow him but realizes she cannot afford the fare. Her ex‐husband, the circus owner Jim Deming ( Jack Donahue), suggests they remarry, sail back together, then get a divorce. Sunny prefers to stow away. She is caught, but everything ends happily. Notable songs: D'ye Love Me?; Sunny; Who? One of the best and most successful 1920s musical comedies, the Charles Dillingham production marked Kern's first association with Harbach and Hammerstein, who would become his principal collaborators.
