The Lady or the Tiger?

Lady or the Tiger?, The, 1888
Broadway musical by Sydney Rosenfeld (libretto), Julius J. Lyons, and Adolph Nowack (music), based on Frank R. Stockton's popular 1882 magazine story. Captain Sanjar and the emperor's daughter are in love and, their romance discovered, he must choose between two doors, one concealing a beautiful maiden to wed and the other a hungry tiger. The original tale ended before the hero made his choice, but this musical version revealed that the princess replaced the maiden with an old hag.
