4.0 out of 5 stars Utter Glory of Morrisey Hall CD, February 8, 2009

The delivery and the product were excellent. It's a cute show with some good numbers. I've never seen the show or read the script, so I can't comment on its overall quality. However, as a HS drama director in need of shows with large female casts, I would consider producing this show at some point.

Celeste Holm made a return to theatre for The Utter Glory of Morrissey Hall, a flop musical. It tells the tale of a battle in average British girl's school between the Fifth Form, the Sixth Form and the administration and I believe love (of a heterosexual variety) is involved. Celeste Holm is the headmistress in all this chaos and, at least on disc, does not distinguish herself in a score that does the same. Clark Gesner as the composer does not even come close to replicating the charm that is to be found in his earlier hit, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Still it is always a treasure for collectors when such a rare, never-to-be-seen again gem resurfaces. Besides, the title is always fun to roll around on the tongue.
