Their adaptation so pleased the composer that he volunteered to write some new music for the English production.[14] Its initial run of a total of 931 performances was the longest of any piece of musical theatre up to that time.[21] Some critics reconsidered their earlier condemnation, the work became regarded as a classic Victorian piece,[22] and the initially despised plot was traced seriously back to the Restoration playwrights David Garrick and Aphra Behn, and to Oliver Goldsmith and even Shakespeare.[23] Stephenson and Cellier later collaborated on another comic opera, Doris (1888), which, without rivalling Dorothy, had a good run of more than 200 performances.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6411.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6411.txt
