John Phillip Sousa played a song from this work at the wedding of Grover Cleveland, plainly telling Frances Folsom that she had better succumb. Mike Todd and the WPA Federal Theater Project in Chicago both produced all-black versions of it, which added the adjectives "Hot" and "Swing" to the title, respectively. A racial epithet is usually changed to "banjo" in the song "I've got a (*) Little List," which is very similar in its misanthropic vitriol to the song sung by the title character expressing his humanity. Inspired by a Japanese sword falling in the home of its librettist, its production was the subject of Mike Leigh's Topsy Turvy. For 10 points, name this operetta containing "Three Little Maids" by Gilbert and Sullivan about the faked death and marriage of the son of a Japanese ruler.
