Top Speed (musical)

The musical is set at the Onawanda Lodge, a fictional resort in the Thousand Islands that sits on the American side of the Canada–United States border in New York.

The production transferred in the middle of its Broadway run to the Royale Theatre where it ultimately closed on March 22, 1930, after 104 performances.

[1] The cast included Irene Delroy as Virginia Rollins, Lester Allen as Elmer Peters, Ginger Rogers as Babs Green, Harland Dixon as Tad Jordan, and Paul Frawley as Gerry Brooks.

The show also included an earlier hit song from Ruby and Kalmar's musical Good Boy which they interpolated into Top Speed, "I Wanna Be Loved by You".

[1] First National Pictures adapted the musical into a 1930 film of the same name starring Joe E. Brown, Bernice Claire, Jack Whiting, Laura Lee, and Frank McHugh.
