Sinbad is a Broadway musical with a book by Harry Atteridge, lyrics by Harry Atteridge, and music by Sigmund Romberg, Al Jolson and others.
Produced by Lee Shubert and J. J. Shubert, the Broadway production, staged by J. C. Huffman and J. J. Shubert, opened on February 14, 1918 at the Winter Garden Theatre, where it ran for 164 performances. Cast included Al Jolson, Kitty Doner, Constance Farber, and Forrest Huff.
This show was a “musical comedy” with little purpose other than to provide a vehicle for Al Jolson. He plays a porter in old Bagdad where he meets a series of characters from the Arabian Nights, including Sinbad himself. He is transported to various exotic settings. As with Jolson’s previous shows, songs were interpolated during the run.
