EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Theatrical Delight from the Roaring Twenties Step back in time to the vibrant and lively world of "Oh, Boy!" - a theatrical sensation written by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, with music by Jerome Kern. This postcard invites you to experience the magic of this classic production, first staged at the Princess Theatre in New York on February 20, 1917. The image showcases an enchanting scene from the play, with a group of elegant ladies gathered around a young man, their curious and excited expressions reflecting the anticipation and delight that filled theatres during the 1910s. The charming and dashing 'boy' at the center of their attention, dressed in formal attire, exudes an irresistible charm that leaves the ladies in awe. As a pantomime or musical comedy, "Oh, Boy!" offered a popular form of entertainment for audiences seeking a night of laughter, music, and merriment. Bolton and Wodehouse's witty script, combined with Kern's enchanting music, created a theatrical experience that left a lasting impact on the stage. "Oh, Boy!" made its way to Manchester's Princes Theatre on December 16, 1918, and later to London's Kingsway Theatre as "Oh Joy!" on January 21, 1919. This postcard is a precious reminder of the theatrical history that began in New York City over a century ago. Embrace the nostalgia and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of "Oh, Boy!" - a theatrical delight that continues to captivate and entertain audiences today.
