A British production titled "The Black Crook", which opened at the Alhambra Theatre on December 23, 1872, was an opera bouffe based on "La Biche au bois", with new music by Frederic Clay and Georges Jacobi. The author, Harry Paulton, starred as Dandelion, opposite the comedian Kate Santley, who had appeared in the 1871–72 Broadway revival. The plot bore little or no resemblance to Barras's play. The British piece was revived in 1881. A silent film based on Barras's "The Black Crook" was produced in 1916. A 1954 Sigmund Romberg musical, "The Girl in Pink Tights", used as its background a story based loosely on the creation of "The Black Crook".
