Mrs. Leslie Carter in the Broadway production of Zaza

Zaza is a French-language play written by playwrights Pierre Berton and Charles Simon [fr], and staged for the first time at the Théâtre du VaudevilleinParis, in May 1898.[1] The title character is a prostitute who becomes a music hall entertainer and the mistress of a married man.

The play is probably best known in the English-speaking world in the adaptation of the same title by David Belasco, which premiered at the Lafayette Square Opera HouseinWashington, D.C., in December 1898, and subsequently opened at the Garrick TheatreinNew York City, in January 1899.[1] It is also the source material for the 1900 opera ZazàbyRuggero Leoncavallo.

A substantial difference between the two stagings is that in the original French play, Zaza and her married customer resume their relationship after she becomes a successful performer, whereas in the American adaptation, they do not reunite.
