Just Because (musical)
''Just Because'' was a 1922 musical. According to Cait Miller at the Library of Congress, the play "may well have been the first full-length Broadway musical authored entirely by women". The musical is set in the suburbs of New York City.

Built by impresario Earl Carroll and designed by architect George Keister, it opened on February 25, 1922, and was highly successful for a number of years until it was demolished and rebuilt on a lavish scale. It reopened in August 1931 with Carroll's billing that it was "the largest legitimate theater in the world." However, the facility's operating costs proved astronomical and it went into foreclosure in early 1932 after which it was acquired by producer Florenz Ziegfeld who renamed it the Casino Theatre.
