Adele (musical)

The musical was coyly marketed and published as an English adaptation by Adolf Philipp and Edward A. Paulton with the claim that the original French book and lyrics were by Paul Hervé, and the music by Jean Briquet.

However, both Paul Hervé and Jean Briquet were pseudonyms of Adolf Philipp and the work had never been written or performed in French prior to the original English language production.

[1] The musical is set in France in the cities of Paris and Trouville, Normandy.

The plot concerns a French girl who falls in love with the son of her father's business rival.

[2] It was directed by Ben Teal and produced by Joseph P. Bickerton Jr. Natalie Alt played the titular role.
