About Tony Hart (theater)

  • Tony Hart, born Anthony J.
  • Cannon (July 25, 1855 – November 4, 1891), was an American actor, comedian and singer.
  • He is best known for working with Edward Harrigan in the late 19th century comedy team of Harrigan & Hart. He met Harrigan in 1870.
  • The two became a fixture at the Theatre Comique in New York City by the mid-1870s performing in Harrigan's farcical sketches.
  • The slight and short Hart usually portrayed the female roles in their comic sketches and plays. Their breakthrough hit was the 1873 song and sketch "The Mulligan Guard", a lampoon of an Irish neighborhood "militia" with music by David Braham.
  • It became their signature piece, and they featured it in many of their slapstick skits and plays.
  • The team's last Broadway performance was in May 1885.
  • Hart's health and financial condition both deteriorated, and he died at the age of 36.
