Three Wishes for Jamie
by Abe Burrows, Ralph Blane, Charles O'Neal
Synopsis
This Golden Age musical originally starred John Raitt on Broadway.
Based on Charles O’Neal's 1949 novel The Three Wishes of Jamie McRuin , this musical fantasy focuses on a young Irishman who, when offered three wishes by the Queen of the Fairies, chooses travel, a bride, and a son who can speak Gaelic.
The granting of the first brings him to Atlanta, Georgia, where the second is fulfilled in the form of Maeve Harrigan.
But the third will prove to be more difficult to enjoy when it is discovered his new wife is unable to conceive and the couple adopts a mute boy.
NOTE: This title is from the Samuel French Vault and is made from a scan of an archived manuscript.
