Lara Parker: "Nice moves, Denise. You'll be playing Lolita in a couple of years."

([pointing-up]  That Denise, indeed!!  [b003]  She was hardly an innocent child...)

Nope. And she did play Lolita at one point.

I'm unclear as to how the subject matter would lend itself to a musical. [easter_huh]

([pointing-up]  Back in the day I remember reading an article that said something like turning Lolita into a musical was a bad idea from the start. It also wasn't very kind to Denise because it said something like not only couldn't she sing but she couldn't play the sexuality of a nymphet. And if that was really true, no wonder the show was DOA...)

Denise had a decent enough singing voice, as clips from her tenure on The Electric Company show. Whether it was Broadway caliber or not is not an assessment that I am qualified to make.
She did address the sexpot remark at the time (in Newsweek, I think) by saying that she could play a sexpot just as well as anyone else. Again, an assessment that I am not qualified to make.

There is an audioclip of Denise singing a song called Saturday from the play. It's not an official soundtrack recording. The play didn't last long enough to warrant a cast album. It's interesting as a curiosity.

([pointing-up]  A "curiosity" is a good way to describe it...)

And yet not the most bizarre concept for a musical, believe it or not. While Googling Lolita, My Love, one of the other things that popped up was a musical version of The Diary of Anne Frank.
