DuBarry Was a Lady is a classic Broadway musical from 1939 with music and lyrics by Cole Porter and a book by Herbert Fields and Buddy DeSylva. The show premiered at the 46th Street Theatre, running for 408 performances and helping launch the early star power of Ethel Merman, Bert Lahr, and Betty Grable. The production later inspired a 1943 Technicolor film adaptation featuring Red Skelton, Lucille Ball, and Gene Kelly. In theaters and concert halls, the show remains a favorite for its sparkling scores and comedic plot.
