Meilhac, French playwright, born in 1832 in Paris, was trained as an artist and published his first dramatic work in 1855. He has subsequently produced a long series of light comedies—some in conjunction with Halévy. Some are well known through Offenbach's music. His chef-d'œuvre is Frou-Frou (1869).
