Lost Musicals to Dust Off Porter's Fifty Million Frenchmen

Following last year's presentation of Silk Stockings, Lost Musicals will again dip into the Cole Porter repertoire for its next show, Fifty Million Frenchmen.  The musical comedy will be performed--by a cast to be announced--at Florence Gould Hall (55 East 59th Street) on September 17th, 24th and 29th, and October 8th, at 6:30 PM each evening.

Ian Marshall Fisher, the founder of the 17 year-old Lost Musicals series, will helm the staged concert, which will feature the original book by Herbert Fields.  The show concerns some Americans in Paris, where they find themselves romantically inspired by the City of Light.

The show is best known for Porter standards and semi-standards such as "You Do Something to Me," "Tale of the Oyster," and "Find Me a Primitive Man."  The show opened in November of 1929 at the Lyric Theatre for a run of 254 performances.  Fifty Million Frenchmen originally starred William Gaxton, Helen Broderick, Betty Compton and more.
