House of Flowers (1954), a musical by Truman Capote (book, lyrics), Harold
Arlen (music). [Alvin Theatre,165 perf.] During a West Indies trade war between two brothel keepers, Madame Tango ( Juanita
Hall) and Madame Fleur ( Pearl
Bailey), the latter sells one of her girls, Ottilie ( Diahann Carroll), to a rich man. But Ottilie prefers young, handsome Royal ( Rawn Spearman) and, despite Madame Fleur's machinations, she gets her way.
Notable songs: House of Flowers; A Sleeping Bee; Two Ladies in de Shade of de Banana Tree; I Never Has Seen Snow. The show had a superb Arlen score and an exceptionally beautiful production featuring Oliver Messel's pastel settings and costumes, but it could not overcome indifferent notices and unusually strong competition. Although it became one of those failures that developed a cult following, an Off‐Broadway revival in 1968 quickly failed.
Truman CAPOTE [né Truman Streckfus Persons] (1924–84), a New Orleans native better known as a novelist, also wrote the play
The Grass Harp (1952). Several of his other works were adapted for the stage by other writers, albeit unsuccessfully.
