On the Razzle is a play by Tom Stoppard. It is an adaptation of the Viennese play Einen Jux will er sich machen by Johann Nestroy which previously was adapted twice by Thornton Wilder. The first 1938 version entitled The Merchant of Yonkers was faithful to the original material but the second 1955 version renamed The Matchmaker expanded the previously secondary role of Dolly Gallagher Levi who later became the heroine of the Jerry Herman musical hit Hello Dolly!.
