The 1914 Princeton Triangle Club musical for which F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote lyrics was Fie! Fie! Fi-Fi! Fitzgerald wrote the book and lyrics while he was a Princeton undergraduate, making the production an important early example of his theatrical ambitions.
The Triangle Club produced original musical comedies written and performed by Princeton students. Fitzgerald became deeply involved with the club and wrote lyrics for three consecutive shows: Fie! Fie! Fi-Fi! in 1914–1915, The Evil Eye in 1915–1916, and Safety First in 1916–1917. His campus reputation grew even though poor academic results prevented him from participating fully in some performances and tours.
The title is easy to confuse with Fitzgerald’s later works. This Side of Paradise was his first novel, The Vegetable was a 1923 play, and The Evil Eye was the next Triangle production for which he wrote lyrics. Fie! Fie! Fi-Fi! therefore belongs to Fitzgerald’s Princeton stage career, years before The Great Gatsby made him internationally famous.
