San Toy

San Toy, or The Emperor's Own is a "Chinese" musical comedy in two acts with a book by Edward Morton, music by Sidney Jones and lyrics by Harry Greenbank and Adrian Ross. Additional songs were written by Lionel Monckton. The plot centers around a love triangle involving the daughter of a mandarin, who disguises herself as a boy to avoid marriage to a man she does not love and manages, through maneuvering and good luck to reunite with the man she loves, while all ends happily for her father and her father's private secretary. The musical was first performed at Daly's Theatre, London, on 21 October 1899, and ran for 768 performances (edging out the same composer's The Geisha as the second longest run for any musical up to that time).
