maids. I need as many plays and musicals by title that have a maid (or more) in it.

So far, all I've got are
THE SECRET GARDEN (Martha, the maid with a name)
ANNIE (maids in service to Daddy Warbucks)
MY FAIR LADY (maids in service to Henry Higgins)

I'm sure there are lots more. They don't have to be musicals. Anything on stage...

Thanks.

(I also posted this in the realism forum, but I'm not getting much response. Hope this post finds a happier home here. Thanks, all.)

Googled up:

Once Upon A Mattress...

The Little Princess a.k.a. A Little Princess a.k.a. A Little Un-fairy Princess

Higher and Higher (upon which the Sinatra flick was based)

Pearl Earring (based on the novel Girl with a Pearl Earring)

Room Service (was a play first)

Also: Man of La Mancha has a serving wench, it that counts...

Your google skills are better than mine. (and your search terms?)

I found "Caroline or Change" and about 9 more pages of references to it and a lot of nonsense that didn't relate.

I think it was just "maid stage play"...

That search on Yahoo gave me:

Pirates of Penzance - former nursery maid

The Skin of our Teeth

Alan Ayckbourn's eight-play series: Intimate Exchanges

Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward

The Maids by Jean Genet

thanks.

The Maids, Jean Genet -- much intrigue and nastiness

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM is a musical that sort of has a maid... it's got a girl who is really a courtesan, but pretends to be a maid. And it has a man pretending to be the girl pretending to be the maid. And it's got a lovely song about maids - "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid."

Thanks. Love that ridiculous song!
