Dancing Around is a two-act musical revue with music by Sigmund Romberg and Harry Carroll and lyrics and book by Harold Atteridge.^[1] The production was "the first show in which Al Jolson received top billing from the start."^[2] As a revue, the score features songs from multiple composers and lyricists,^[3] notably featuring the songs "Sister Susie's Sewing Shirts for Soldiers" and "It's a Long Way to Tipperary."^[4] However, the Grace Leboy song "Everybody Rag With Me",^[5] commonly associated with the musical in sheet music^[6] and recordings popularized by Jolson, did not appear in the original production, but rather was added during a tour. ^[7][8][9] Jolson appeared in blackface, performing the "Everybody Rag With Me" number and the encore without the makeup.^[8] Performances began at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York on October 10, 1914, running for 145 performances before closing on February 13, 1915.
