When he expanded it into a musical comedy in 1954, it fairly swarmed with talent-Pearl Bailey and Diahann Carroll sang, Geoffrey Holder danced, Balanchine worked on the choreography, Oliver Messel designed the sets, and Harold Arlen turned out a lilting, lyrical musical score. Nonetheless, House of Flowers faded fast...
