Desiree of Beverly Hills
a musical comedy in one-act
Book & Lyrics by PETER CHARLES MORRIS
Music by MAT EISENSTEIN
3 Women, 2 Men, 1 set
Based on my one-act play, "Only in Beverly Hills," this is an exercise in bad taste. It is the story of a fabulously wealthy woman who will do anything to see that her daughter is "debutante of the year." Unfortunately, her daughter is a brain-damaged quadriplegic.
Produced at the 2006 Bad Musical Festival, NYC
