 Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - "Morning’s at Seven" - 8/4/05
Morning’s at Seven, starring Katherine Helmond, might have looked like a traditional dinner theatre choice — casting of a well-known TV sitcom performer in a crowd-pleasing vehicle, but the production on stage would be at home anywhere in Chicago, including places like the prestigious Goodman and Steppenwolf theaters.
That would mean he and Myrtle would not be moving into the house Carl has saved for them, and would instead make it available to Cora (Mary Ann Thebus) and her husband Thor (Rob Riley), so they could finally have a home of their own apart from the unmarried sister Aaronetta (Ms.
Helmond is a delightful Aaronetta, drawing upon but not repeating her character Mona from Who’s the Boss as an older woman who still believes herself attractive, accepting responsibility for her choice to remain unmarried, yet not bitter about it.

Even before it premiered on September 13, 1977 (Tuesdays at 9:30 pm on ABC), Soap was mired in controversy (including 32,000 letters of protest) and primed to make television history.
Conceived as a primetime satire of daytime melodramas openly addressing a variety of risky topics (homosexuality, infidelity, impotence, familial murder) with a deft combination of irreverent wit, wacky slapstick, supreme stupidity and--key to its success--engaging drama from characters you could really care about, regardless of their rampant quirks and foibles.
As a friendly announcer informs us, "this is the story of two sisters" in suburban Connecticut--wealthy dimwit Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmond) and blue-collar housewife Mary Campbell (Cathryn Damon)--whose class-divided families are bound by tons of scandalous secrets.

Starring John Cleese, Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall, Katherine Helmond, Ian Holm, Michael Palin, Ralph Richardson, David Warner, David Rappaport and Craig Warnock
John Cleese as a smarmy Robin Hood; Katherine Helmond as a kind of evil Blondie to her Dagwoodish ogre husband (Peter Vaughan); Ralph Richardson as a fussy, schoolmasterish God; David Warner's proto-Bill Gates turn as the Evil One—all these characterizations delight.
Culminating in a manner identical to The Wizard of Oz (and after all, what has the aggressive floating head of the Supreme Being been but a kind of Oz Himself?), the film saves its ultimate kick for the end, asserting that independent orphanhood is better than a stultifying family life.
