It's worth a listen

"The Scarlet Letter definitely has its moments. Strong performances from all the leads and a few hummable and pretty melodies make up for some of the jarringly anachronistic styles of music (rapping Puritan women?). Songs like the title song, "Naive," "Main Street at Noon" and "Sticks and Stones" help to make this one of the most interesting original cast recordings I've heard in a while. I must admit, though, it took me two full listens through for me to like it - the first time I thought it was just strange. If you're up for something totally new, give it a try!"

Interesting and often beautiful...

"Last week I saw Mark Govenor perform some songs from his musical acoustically at Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles. The song, "Naive" will bring tears to your eyes! It's a beautiful meditation on deep loss. There are some strange moments in this musical, but also some gems worth purchasing it for!"

Creative and Wonderful

"Unforgettable and expressive songwriting makes "The Scarlet Letter" come alive in a modern world. Composer Mark Governor is a major talent. Features Kathy Fisher (from group "Fisher") as Hester Pryne with her "hot rock in velvet" voice. Definitely one of the best musicals from the last few years."
