Passion Flower Hotel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Passion Flower Hotel is a musical with music by John Barry, lyrics by Trevor Peacock and a book by Wolf Mankowitz, based on a novel of the same name by Rosalind Erskine. The story concerns a young girl going to an English girls' Boarding School. In the dormitory, the girls discuss losing their virginity and decide that the best way is to set up a "service" for the local Boys school situated across the lake from them. The subject is treated in a light manner.

The musical premiered at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, England on 30 July 1965, transferring to the Prince of Wales Theatre, London, on 24 August 1965. It ran for 148 performances.
