  • Mata Hari is a musical with a book by Jerome Coopersmith, lyrics by Martin Charnin and music by Edward Thomas. The exotic dancer Mata Hari was accused of spying for the Germans during World War I and was executed by a French firing squad, but her guilt is still being debated. The musical is centered on her fictional affair with a French intelligence officer who plays a major role in her arrest and execution and later regrets it. A parallel sequence of events follows a young French soldier who fights in the trenches, illustrating what war is really about. The musical was perceived as an anti-war piece at a time when the US war in Vietnam was sinking in popularity. The show's original production by David Merrick received a pre-Broadway tryout in December 1967 at National Theatre in Washington, DC, starring Austrian actress Marisa Mell in the title role opposite Pernell Roberts, who left Bonanza to star in the show; the crew included director Vincente Minnelli, set designer Jo Mielziner, costume designer Irene Sharaff, and choreographer Jack Cole. The show received scathing reviews and Merrick cancelled the Broadway production, taking a $500,000 loss. In December 1968, the authors brought a more modest version of it to New York's off-Broadway Theatre de Lys (now the Lucille Lortel Theater) under the title Ballad for a Firing Squad. It lasted there for fifteen performances. In 1996, York Theatre in New York revived the 1968 version under the original title Mata Hari. A cast recording of that production was released in 2001. (en)
  • Mata Hari adalah musikal dari buku karya Jerome Coopersmith, lirik oleh Martin Charnin dan musik oleh Edward Thomas. Penari eksotis Mata Hari dituduh memata-matai Jerman selama Perang Dunia I dan dieksekusi oleh regu tembak Prancis, tetapi kesalahannya masih diperdebatkan. Musikal ini berpusat pada perselingkuhannya dengan seorang perwira intelijen Prancis yang memainkan peran utama dalam penangkapan dan eksekusi dan kemudian menyesalinya. Urutan peristiwa paralel mengikuti seorang prajurit muda Prancis yang bertarung di parit, menggambarkan apa sebenarnya perang itu. Musikal itu dianggap sebagai karya anti-perang pada saat perang AS di Vietnam tenggelam dalam popularitas. (in)
