Complete book and lyrics to the1913 musical comedy.

The Girl from Utah was notable for its blend of British and American musical styles, reflecting the transatlantic exchange that characterized the theatrical landscape of the time.

The story centers around the character of Prudence, a young girl who escapes from her strict Mormon upbringing in Utah to pursue a life of freedom and love in England. The plot is a light-hearted romantic comedy that sees Prudence navigate various misunderstandings and romantic entanglements, ultimately leading to a happy resolution.

The show was initially produced in London before transferring to Broadway, where it enjoyed considerable success. Its Broadway run featured five new musical numbers by Jerome Kern helping to establish Kern's reputation as a leading figure in musical theater

Through its successful blending of comedic narrative, memorable characters, and innovative musical contributions, The Girl from Utah remains a milestone in the history of Edwardian musical theater.
