* The musical being staged on the night of the 1903 Iroquois theater fire in Chicago was a very loose adaptation of the folk tale which turned it into a musical comedy. Entitled ''Mr Bluebeard'', it moved the action to a heavily exoticized version of [[ArabianNightsDays Baghdad]], not that this stopped the show including Irish charmers, a number about ''Hamlet'' and a platoon of singing Hussars, or paying a whistle-stop tour of [[InterchangeableAsianCultures India and Japan]]. The characters had [[StockForeignName stock foreign names]] like Fatima, Abulim, Beco, Zoli and, most bafflingly of all, ''Anne''. Even by the standards of the time it wasn't considered a very good show, and the fire is probably the only reason anyone remembers ''Mr Bluebeard'' at all.

Then she asks her groom if he recognizes [[ThatWasNotADream the ring from that hand]]. The groom is promptly arrested, tried and executed.
* Russian folktale ''The Cat with the Golden Tail'' replaces Bluebeard with a ''bear'', who kidnaps girls and forces them to live in his house as his wife and housekeeper. He murders them for entering a forbidden storehouse with kegs of magic liquids (that can turn anything to gold, to silver, [[HealingSpring resurrect the dead]] or [[GrimyWater heal wounds but kill the patient]]).

The second wife was a snobbish health nut, who starved Bluebeard and accidentally poisoned herself by eating a toadstool that Bluebeard was going to eat (believing it to be edible). The third (and final) bride was an adulteress, who had her lover kill Bluebeard when he accidentally walked in on them (Bluebeard seems to have survived, however, as he is telling this). Presumably, she made up the fairy tale to save face. The weird thing was: before each death Bluebeard quickly grew an elbow-long blue beard. Then the detective's wife throws a jealous fit and ''the detective'' grows a blue beard bigger than his car.
