The Whirl of Society was a satirical Broadway musical that played at the Winter Garden Theatre from March 5 to June 29, 1912. Louis Hirsch composed the music with lyrics by Harold Atteridge, to a book by Harrison Rhodes. The production also featured songs by Arthur Fields. The Whirl of Society was part of a production also featuring Sesostra and A Night with the Pierrots, for 136 productions.[1] The musical is set in New York City and takes place in the drawing room and ball room of Mrs. Dean (portrayed by Stella Mayhew in the original production).[2]

The production also toured the country. It was performed with A Night with the Pierrots in Washington DC in November 1912.[3]

Fanny Brice was in the musical in 1912, when it was listed as a Shubert production. [4] It also featured Al Jolson, one of five musicals he was in with the Shubert empire, in which "the producers recognized his escalating value to their business empire".[5]
