 Numerous stage, film and TV versions of the basic tale, or versions using the character, have been done over the years - including pantomimes, musicals, dances, etc.  Since the bulk of these works are created/adapted  by performers or performing companies themselves, there are not really any standard texts, though many published texts have appeared and been copyrighted.
-A prominent example is the 1868 production called ''[[Humpty Dumpty]]'', created and performed by actor George L. Fox (1825–1877)[], a pantomime version that is considered to have introduced the character of Humpty Dumpty to the general public in the United States. According to  Doug Reside, Curator, Billy Rose Theatre Division, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts,  Fox's  (which opened at the New Olympic Theatre on Broadway on 9 March, 1868), was one of the most popular American pantomimes of the 19th century.
