Wake Up and Dream is a musical revue with a book by John Hastings Turner and music and lyrics by Cole Porter and others. The most famous song from the revue is the Porter standard "What Is This Thing Called Love?"
The revue opened in London while Porter's Paris was still running on Broadway. Producer Charles B. Cochran asked Porter to write the score, even though in their previous dealings Porter had treated him with some discourtesy.[1] Opening on December 30, 1929, the production was the last to open on Broadway in the 1920s.[2]
The title later would be used for unrelated films in 1934, 1942 and 1946.
