The Merveilleuses is a musical play in three acts, with a book adapted from the French original of Victorien Sardou by Basil Hood, lyrics by Adrian Ross, and music by Hugo Felix. The main plot is a love story, concerning Dorlis, an émigré aristocrat who has just returned from enforced military service in Italy, and Illyrine, his ex-wife. The English title was sometimes rendered as The Lady Dandies.[1]
It opened at Daly's Theatre, London, under the management of George Edwardes, on 27 October 1906, with a cast that included Evie Greene, Denise Orme and Robert Evett in the leading roles,[2] and ran for 196 performances.[3]
