Miss Hook of Holland is a musical comedy set in 1907 in the Netherlands, which premiered in London in 1909. The story revolves around the wealthy widow Mrs. Hook, who is travelling on the Holland-Anglia steamboat. She is being pursued by a group of gold-digging men, including the American millionaire, Sandy Bayles. Mrs. Hook, however, has her sights set on the penniless but charming artist, Tom Smith. When the steamboat runs into trouble, the passengers are stranded on a deserted island, and hilarity ensues as the men continue to pursue Mrs. Hook and Tom tries to win her heart.

The score for Miss Hook of Holland features lively and tuneful songs, including "I Want To Have A Villa In The Country," "What Is The Use Of Talking?" and "Waltzing Matilda." The show also includes energetic dance numbers, such as the "Dutch Doll Dance," and features colorful costumes and sets that transport the audience to the early 20th century. With its lighthearted humor and catchy tunes, Miss Hook of Holland is a fun-filled musical romp that celebrates the joys and absurdities of love and romance.
