Dover Street to Dixie

---

Synopsis:

This musical expanded from a cabaret floorshow which begun at the Plantation Club in New York City where it opened in 1922 with the title of Dixie to Broadway. Set on a Southern plantation, where black life was stereotypically portrayed as happy and carefree, the musical brought the African American jazz singer Florence Mills to stardom. It then moved to London in May 1923 as part of the review From Dover Street to Dixie with a white English cast for the first half and the 'The Plantation Revue' company for the Dixie half. It toured to Paris and to various venues in England.
