Music reviews of Dessa Rose (2005 Off-Broadway Cast)

Music Review: An INTERESTING FAILURE
Rating: 3 Stars

I am a big fan of Arens and Flaherty, and have been since Once on this Island. When they are at their best, they are capable of writing GREAT Musicals, i.e. Ragtime. They are also capable of near misses such as Seusical with some great songs but the multiple story lines just didn't pull in the same direction. At their worst they are capable of drivel such as Lucky Stiff and A Man of No Importance. Dessa Rose falls in the middle of these extemes. The story is powerful and moveing and well musicalized. The music is in service to the story and the performers on this recording are all magnificent, doing some of the best work that they individually have ever done! But.............and unfortunately its a big but, there are only 2 or three major musical moments that heighten the drama the way a great song in a great musical should. Think Rain in Spain for example and I have goose bumps all over. This show needs two or three songs to lift the listener or viewer out of their seat, think Back to Before from Ragtime. Each of the two female leads has one major solo, but they need a duet. For me the best number in the show is the quintet near the begining of the second act for Dessa and her deceased boy friend and Ruth and Nathan and the villan of the piece. Now this is great musical theater. Three stars for a noble failure, one that has promise. Perhaps a revised version?

Description of Dessa Rose (2005 Off-Broadway Cast)

A major musical by The Lincoln Center based on the best-selling novel by Sherley Anne Williams. This is the first complete recording (containing the entire work) of a New York mainstream production. Wonderful music and lyrics by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens. Great cast includes Rachel York, LaChanz, Norm Lewis, Michael Hayden and more.
