Edward E. Rice

Edward E. Rice (1849, Brighton, Massachusetts - November 16, 1924, New YorkCity) was one of the creators of "Evangeline", along with John Cheever Goodwin. "Evangeline" was an extravaganza and burlesque show that became, in 1874, the first American production billed as musical comedy. [Chase, pg. 362] Rice composed more than eighteen productions that appeared on Broadway, and created many productions that toured the country. He also introduced popular performers Fay Templeton and Lillian Russell, and booked "Clorindy" by Will Marion Cook, one of the earliest musicals by an African American. Rice's biggest hit was 1894's "Adonis", which starred Henry Dixey, one of the most popular performers of the era. [http://www.musicals101.com/who7b.htm Edward E. Rice] ]
