On the Razzle (play)
On the Razzle is Tom Stoppard's 1981 adaptation of Johann Nestroy's Viennese play Einen Jux will er sich machen (roughly, "He Will Have His Way"). Nestroy's play already had been adapted by Thornton Wilder twice: the first version, entitled The Merchant of Yonkers (1938), was far more faithful to the original material, but the second version, renamed The Matchmaker, added the crucial character of Dolly Gallagher Levi, who later became the heroine of the Jerry Herman musical hit, Hello, Dolly!.
