The Belle of New York is a musical comedy in two acts, with book and lyrics by Hugh Morton and music by Gustave Kerker. Opening in New York in 1897, it ran for only 64 performances. It subsequently transferred to London in 1898, where it was a major success, running for an almost unprecedented 674 performances, and became the first American musical to run for over a year in the West End. The show starred Nellie Stewart and Edna May, whose performance made her a star in London and New York, and postcards of her as Violet were ubiquitous. In London, it was produced by George Musgrove. The work had stiff competition in London in 1898, as other successful openings included A Greek Slave and A Runaway Girl. Long runs in Paris and Berlin followed. There were nine West End revivals over the next four decades and a 1916 film adaptation, Salvation Joan.
