Leslie Stuart (1864-1928) was a British songwriter best remembered
as the composer of the hit show, Florodora. He began writing
popular songs as a teenager, first for blackface and vaudeville
performers, and eventually for more "legitimate" shows and revues.
Florodora (1899), written in collaboration with London's most
fashionable librettist, Owen Hall, was a musical-comedy sensation.
Its combination of the traditional slow love ballads and waltzes
with more rhythmic and long-lined numbers made it a worldwide
success. He continued to compose through the first decade of the
20th century, laying the groundwork for the coming innovations in
British and American musical theater.
