''Lolita, My Love'' was an unsuccessful musical by John Barry and Alan Jay Lerner, based on Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel ''Lolita''. It closed in Boston in 1971 while on a tour prior to Broadway. Production history ''Lolita, My Love'' was initiated by Lerner, the well-known lyricist of ''My Fair Lady'' and other major hits, who recruited Barry to write the score.

Lolita (play)
''Lolita'' is a play adapted by Edward Albee from Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel of the same name. The troubled production opened on Broadway on March 19, 1981 after 31 previews and closed after only 12 performances. Frank Rich in his ''New York Times'' review wondered why the play even opened after "weeks of delays" as it was "the kind of embarrassment that audiences do not quickly forget or forgive." Rich said the least of its sins were incompetence, being boring, and trashing a literary masterpiece. "What sets ''Lolita'' apart from ordinary failures is its abject mean-spiritedness," he wrote. "For all this play's babbling about love, it is rank with indiscriminate – and decidedly unearned – hate." Ten years earlier, John Barry and Alan Jay Lerner's musical ''Lolita, My Love'' had bombed, closing during tryouts in Boston. (Albee's ''Lolita'' also played in Boston before its Broadway launch.) Critics had scored the play, saying that the lack of Nabokov's authorial ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

What he had written was so close to me that I couldn't help being really unsettled by it". Dion said the song described her love for her manager and future husband René Angélil, "The first time I sang the words to 'Lolita,' I was in front of René, and I sang it to arouse him".

The ''Los Angeles Times'' deemed the album "country-grunge," writing: "It would ta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
