Panjandrum (musical)

DeWolf Hopper and the cast had prepared special lines for the closing song and substituted them: In late June 1893, the Broadway Theatre underwent renovation of its air-cooling apparatus.

Apparently this caused a slight cessation of performances, enabling the creators to introduce a "second edition" of Panjandrum on June 28, 1893.

The role of Rotomango, played by Samuel Reed, has been revised, and instead of a fierce Bornese he will be seen as a humble New-Englander, who by a peculiar chain of circumstances, has been made the Grand Vizier of the Kingdom.

In addition to the many changes made in the characters there will be several new musical numbers written in the composer's best vein, and also many humorous lines and funny situations, which have been contributed by the author.

"[10] The Times review continued, [Hopper] "gets a peculiar sort of assistance from Miss Della Fox, who can neither act nor sing and who is not pretty, but who rejoices in a marvelous popularity."

"[11] Of Della Fox, the second review noted, "Her songs and dances are encored until the little woman is forced from sheer weariness to decline further responses."
