Marriage a la Carte

Marriage a la Carte is a three-act Broadway musical comedy composed and written by C. M. S. McLellan and scored by Ivan Caryll.

The play was staged by Austen Hurgon with musical direction provided by J. Sebastian Hiller and Carl H. Engel.

Marriage a la Carte opened on January 2, 1911 at the Casino Theatre and had a run of 64 performances.

The plot revolves around Mrs. Ponsonby de Coutts Wragge, recently engaged to Lord Mirables, and her former husbands (Ponsonby de Coutts Wragge and Napoleon Pettingill) who reappear in her life after a long absence.

She is a blonde, blue-eyed person, with considerable grace and intelligence, who sings and dances well, and has charms that are distinctly individual and consequently new to us.
