Herbert’s Popular Red Mill
When the show opened in September 1906, a reviewer wrote that “The Red Mill will grind its grist of mirth, music and melody for a long time to come.” Fulfilling his prophecy, the operetta ran for 274 performances in New York, a huge number for the time, and doubled that number when it was revived in 1945. It toured the country extensively after its premiere and is still frequently performed.
