Pretty Polly is a one-act playlet by Basil Hood, with music composed by Francois Cellier. The ten-minute long piece concerns the difficulties of a shy fellow who tries to use a talking parrot as a matrimonial agent. The piece was first produced at the Theatre Royal, Colchester, 26 April 1900, and then at the Savoy Theatre, from 19 May 1900 to 28 June 1900 as a companion piece to Hood and Sir Arthur Sullivan's The Rose of Persia, a run of 26 performances. It then played from 8 December 1900 to 20 April 1901, together with the first revival of Gilbert and Sullivan's 1881 hit, Patience, a run of 102 performances. No printed libretto or vocal score is found in British Library, although the license copy of the libretto is there. The music appears to have been added for the Savoy Theatre production, as it is not indicated in the license copy.
