Bloomer Girl

Article


Bloomer Girl was a Broadway musical that premiered on October 4, 1944. Sig Herzig and Fred Saidy wrote the book, Harold Arlen the music, and E.Y. Harburg the lyrics. Agnes de Mille was the choreographer. The leads included David Brooks, Celeste Holm, Dooley Wilson, and Joan McCracken.

The plot concerned the daughter of a manufacturer of hoop skirts who was, herself, a convert to the cause of Amelia Bloomer, and her conflicts with her father on the eve of the American Civil War. The heroine was herself an abolitionist while her suitor was a slaveowner---one test she set him was to manumit his personal slave, Pompey.
