Frou-Frou (play)

Frou-Frou is an English adaptation of a French comedic play of the same name written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. The title role has been played by many actors, notably Sarah Bernhardt, Madame Modjeska, and Ellen Terry.

The French expression frou-frou refers to the rustle of silk, perhaps onomatopoeic, hence a fondness for fine clothing.
