Adele is a musical in three acts with book, music and lyrics by Adolf Philipp. The musical was coyly marketed and published as an English adaptation by Adolf Philipp and Edward A. Paulton with the claim that the original French book and lyrics were by Paul Hervé, and the music by Jean Briquet. However, both Paul Hervé and Jean Briquet were pseudonyms of Adolf Philipp and the work had never been written or performed in French prior to the original English language production. This was done to make the work seem like an authentic French stage work rather than the original creation of Adolf Philipp, an American.[1]
The musical is set in France in the cities of Paris and Trouville, Normandy. The plot concerns a French girl who falls in love with the son of her father's business rival.[1]
