Dr. Syntax is a musical in two acts with music by Woolson Morse and a libretto by J. Cheever Goodwin that was adapted from Thomas William Robertson's 1869 play School. The work was a revised version of Morse's earlier work Cinderella at School.
The original 1894 production was produced by DeWolf Hopper. His wife at that time, Edna Wallace Hopper, appeared in the cast.[1]
It debuted at the Broadway Theatre on June 23, 1894.[2] The Best Plays of 1884-1899 (1955) says it had a "comfortable run of 159 performances."[1] It then toured, and was notably performed for the inaugural opening of Parsons Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut on April 1, 1896.[3]
