Larry sparks blue mountain melody


Blue Mountain Melody (also seen as The Blue Mountains Melody) is a 1934 Australian musical comedy. It was a rare local musical produced by J.C. Williamson Ltd. The firm commissioned it following the success of Collits' Inn.

Blue Mountain Melody's original production featuring Madge Elliot and Cyril Ritchard opened at the Theatre Royal in Sydney in September 1934. The production moved to Melbourne at His Majesty's Theatre in November 1934.

Plans were announced to make a movie of it using the stage cast under the direction of Frederick Blackman. However the musical was not a notable success and Williamson did not produce another local original musical until The Sentimental Bloke in the early 1960s.
