Made up of a string of vignettes, the show features songs from such musicals as The Wizard of Oz, Three Twins, Babes in Toyland, Ziegfeld Follies and The Belle of New York.

[1] In 1916, Charles Dillingham and Florenz Ziegfeld produced The Century Girl, with music by Irving Berlin.

[2] On their next production, which was to be called Miss 1917, they hired Jerome Kern and Victor Herbert to compose the score and Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse to collaborate on the book.

[5] Sunday night concerts held in New York City by the show's cast introduced Gershwin's "There's More to a Kiss Than the Sound" and "You-oo, Just You", both with lyrics by Irving Caesar.

The creative team also included set designer Joseph Urban, who built a rotating thrust stage for the theatre.

The original cast starred comedian Lew Fields, Andrew Tombes and Vivienne Segal.

[6] According to a member of the production crew, technical rehearsals were interrupted several times due to disagreements in staging and choreography; at one point, Kern sought to close the show early, though Ziegfeld wouldn't have it.

[2][12] A month after Miss 1917 closed on Broadway, on 21 February 1918, items used in the show were sold in an auction, raising $11,300, according to The New York Times.
