Original vintage Broadway song folio from Rio Rita, the hit musical comedy presented by Florenz Ziegfeld at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York. This classic operetta premiered in 1927 and became one of the defining musical successes of the late 1920s Broadway era.
Music by Harry Tierney with lyrics by Joseph McCarthy, published by Leo Feist Inc. The folio features multiple songs from the show, including:
• Rio Rita
• The Kinkajou
• If You’re in Love You’ll Waltz
• I’m Out on the Loose Tonight
• Following the Sun Around
• The Rangers Song
• Are You There
• Sweetheart
The cover artwork reflects the colorful theatrical style of the Jazz Age, making this an excellent piece for collectors of Broadway memorabilia, Ziegfeld productions, or early American musical theater.
