Einen Jux Will Er Sich Machen
''Einen Jux will er sich machen'' (1842) (''He Will Go on a Spree'' or ''He'll Have Himself a Good Time''), is a three-act musical play, designated as a Posse mit Gesang ("farce with singing"), by Austrian playwright Johann Nestroy. It was adapted from John Oxenford's ''A Day Well Spent'' (1835), and was first performed at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna on 10 March 1842. The music was composed by Adolf Müller. Although about half of Nestroy's works have been revived for the modern German-speaking audience and many are part and parcel of today's Viennese repertoire, few have ever been translated into English because Nestroy wrote in a stylized and finely graduated form of Viennese dialect full of multiple puns and local allusions. ''Einen Jux will er sich machen'' is his only work that has become well known to English-speaking theatre-goers. A frequently adapted classic, it was adapted twice by Thornton Wilder, first as '' The Merchant of Yonkers'' (1938), then, much mor ...
