Blue Eyes is a musical composed by Jerome Kern, with a book and lyrics by Guy Bolton and Graham John. Orchestrations were by Robert Russell Bennett, and the original producer was Lee Ephraim. The musical was a historical comedy and romance set against the backdrop of Jacobite Charles Edward Stuart's attempts to restore the House of Stuart to the British throne. In the plot of Blue Eyes a London actress disguises herself as a soldier to help her brother who has been imprisoned by the Duke of Cumberland in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden. It starred Evelyn Laye, and comic relief was provided by W. H. Berry, who "disguised himself as a silly Scotsman, a flea circus owner [and a] French dancing teacher".
