It was staged by J. C. Huffman and was the longest-running Broadway show of the 1920s. Even the classic \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eShow Boat\u003c\/span\u003e, the most enduring musical of the 1920s, did not play as long – it ran for 572 performances. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eDrinking Song\u003c\/span\u003e, with its rousing chorus of \"Drink! Drink! Drink!\" was especially popular with theatergoers in 1924, as the United States was in the midst of Prohibition. Ernst Lubitsch made a silent film also based on Förster's work, titled \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Student Prince in Old Heidelberg\u003c\/span\u003e, starring Ramón Novarro and Norma Shearer. Its orchestral score did not use any of Romberg's score, although it did include \"Gaudeamus igitur\". The operetta was revived twice on Broadway – once in 1931 and again in 1943. Mario Lanza's performance on the soundtrack of the 1954 MGM film \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Student Prince\u003c\/span\u003e renewed the popularity of many of the songs. Composer Nicholas Brodszky and lyricist Paul Francis Webster wrote three new songs for the film. Two of these songs – \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI'll Walk with God\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eBeloved\u003c\/span\u003e, as well as \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSerenade\u003c\/span\u003e – became closely associated with Lanza, although the role was played on screen by British actor Edmund Purdom, who mimed to Lanza's recordings.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793782632729,"sku":"LSC-2339","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-mario_lanza-romberg_the_student_prince.jpg?v=1783554769","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/lsc-2339","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
