Little Nemo, the musical extravaganza based on Winsor McCay's New York Herald comic strip, was the musical sensation of the 1908 Broadway season. With an impressive score by Victor Herbert and book and lyrics by the master librettist Harry B. Smith, the musical was hailed by the New York Star as the largest and best of stage spectacles ever seen in this country. Crafting together an innovative libretto from McCay's Sunday cartoons, Smith brought Nemo's extraordinary adventures in the Land of Dreams to life with both charm and sophistication. . Harry B. Smith was the most prolific of any American stage writer, generating over 6000 lyrics and 300 librettos. He is considered the forefather of today's modern musical.
