The Midnight Sons

The Midnight Sons is a 1909 American musical comedy that was popular upon its release.

The music was by Raymond Hubbell with a book by Glen MacDonough. Opening on May 22, 1909, it ran for 257 performances at the old Broadway Theatre in New York City.

Setting:' New York City

Senator Constant Noyes has four sons who are compelled to find jobs, and the loose plot follows these attempts.

Act 2 opened with the audience facing a false theater set filled with actors and wax dummies, before which the cast would give little performances with their back to the real audience. The set audience included likenesses of famous New Yorkers including theatre critics. Arthur Voegtlin was the set designer.

Blanche Ring's performance of I've Got Rings On My Fingers (And Bells On My Toes) became the hit of the show.

Staged by Lew Fields as a "summer" offering, it had preview performances outside New York and play opened on May 22, 1909, at the old Broadway Theatre.

The play was quite popular with audiences and critics. After running for 257 performances on Broadway, it went on tour starting on January 1, 1910. After cast member Lotta Faust died in early 1910 of pneumonia, a benefit performance of the play was performed at the Broadway in May 1910 for her mother.
