Complete Book and Lyrics to the Broadway musical. With its cohesive book and integrated musical numbers, Madame Sherry raised the bar of musical comedy standards. As The New York Times noted, Madame Sherry was an innovative new musical that set itself apart from other musicals at the time. The unmarried Edward Sherry, who owns The Sherry School of Aesthetic Dancing, has deceived his millionaire uncle, a connoisseur of Greek Art who has been abroad looking for the lost arms of Venus de Milo, into believing that he is married with two children, a stipulation placed on Sherry in order to receive his uncle's financial support. When the uncle arrives in America, it is necessary for Sherry to produce a "Madame Sherry." From this springs the complications that follow. Theatre Arts Press is proud to publish the first printed libretto of this classic musical.
