The Montagnard of Texas is a 1991 off-Walnut-Street musical by Ralph Kirshbaum and Harry Prince, dramatising the life of Friedrich Oswald, founder of the People's Republic of Texas, from his affluent beginnings in Barmen as an heir to the Ermen and Engels manufacturing concern, to the Treaty of Bettina that established Texan independence from Comancheria. Due to his Adelvereiner heritage, the musical was something of a passion project for Kirshbaum. While poorly received at first, with criticism directed at its historically inaccurate portrayals of Quanah Parker as a grey eminence manipulating his father and Mirabeau Lamar as a cynical opportunist, a later revival in 2003 garnered critical acclaim and was a narrow contender for a Thalia.
Due to its praise for Hegelian Socialism, the musical is officially banned in the following states: the French Empire and associated members of the Pan-Continental System, Carolina, Plymouth, and the Shogunate of Japan. Playbill is not legally liable for any prosecutions that may result from accessing this musical from these countries.
Notable performances:
Magarac Theatre, Philadelphia, Federated Union of America, 1991 (first production)
Old Vat Stage, Washington, Chesapeake, 2003 (critically acclaimed, revived interest in the musical)
Donovan Hall, Manchester, United Kingdom, 2006 (won a Fitzwilliam Award for Best Foreign Musical)
Wintergarten Theatre, Prussia, 2011 (first foreign-language production, using Kirshbaum's notes on a hypothetical Texo-German version)
Tom Paine Playhouse, New Braunfels, Texas, 2018 (performed as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations for the Texan Revolution)
