The Catch of the Season

Recently Updated

"The Catch of the Season" is a musical comedy that was first produced in 1912, with music by Paul Rubens and lyrics by Percy Greenbank. The story is set in the 18th century, and follows the adventures of Lady Bobbin and her daughter Violet, who are looking for a suitable husband for the latter. The problem is that Violet has already fallen in love with the dashing Captain Charteris, who is unfortunately penniless. Lady Bobbin wants Violet to marry the wealthy Sir Peter, and enlists the help of the matchmaker Mr. Pillenger to make it happen.

As the story unfolds, we see Captain Charteris and Sir Peter engage in a competition to win Violet's hand, while Lady Bobbin and Mr. Pillenger work behind the scenes to influence the outcome. Along the way, there are mistaken identities, comic misunderstandings, and plenty of witty dialogue. The music is also a highlight of the show, with catchy tunes like "If I Might Only Find the Right Girl" and "The Girl with the Brogue." Ultimately, of course, true love wins out, as Violet and Captain Charteris are finally united.
