Shuffle Along is an African American musical revue with music and lyrics by Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake and a connecting plot about a mayoral race written by Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles. The piece premiered on Broadway in 1921 running for 504 performances which was an unusually long run during that decade launching the careers of Josephine Baker Adelaide Hall and Paul Robeson and becoming such a hit that it caused curtain time traffic jams on 63rd Street.
