Tuxedo (vaudeville)

Tuxedo is a vaudeville with minstrelsy in which the song "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay" was interpolated.

Actor and songwriter Edward Marble wrote and produced Tuxedo for George Thatcher and his minstrel troupe known as Thatcher's Minstrels. It played a tryout in Boston, Massachusetts beginning on August 24, 1891. After a brief run at the National Theater in Washington, D.C.,Tuxedo arrived in New York at the Park Theatre (at Broadway and 35th Street) on October 5, 1891.

The song "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay" was introduced in this show as an interpolated number.

In describing Tuxedo, The New York Times wrote:

Just a week later, a Times critic wrote:

The Tuxedo company toured for years, during which many performers joined and left the company. It returned to New York on March 7, 1892, and again on March 21, 1893, this time at the Columbus Theatre.
