The piece enjoyed a long run in London under the title "The Little Michus". The English adaptation was by Henry Hamilton, with lyrics by Percy Greenbank, and was produced by George Edwardes at Daly's Theatre. The composer conducted the first night, on 29 April 1905, and the piece ran for 400 performances. It starred Adrienne Augarde and Mabel Green, with Robert Evett, Willie Edouin, Huntley Wright, Amy Augarde, Willie Warde, Ambrose Manning, Louis Bradfield. A role was added during the run for the dancer Adeline Genée. A piece of comic business introduced during the run involved a fictional animal called the Gazeka, which became a London fad.
