...42nd minute, freshman midfielder Kate Gannon led a breakaway into the circle and sent a pass across to Gambale who fired a shot between the legs of Moran to up the Harvard advantage...
...second thing that transports this musical is Stroman's lyrical and sensuous choreography, wonderfully danced by Levering, the former co-star of "42nd Street." In the climactic seduction scene in Therese's bedroom, Levering slithers and writhes and wraps her legs around Bierko as seductively as Cyd Charisse used to envelop Gene Kelly.

Still, this...

(Along with The Producers, the others are her dance musical Contact and the revival of The Music Man.) She's assembled a solid cast, including Craig Bierko (The Music Man), Kate Levering (42nd Street) and Debra Monk (this summer's Seagull in Central Park). Thou Shalt Not is just one in a jam-packed lineup of musicals scheduled for Broadway this fall. Among them: Thoroughly Modern Millie, based on the 1967 movie; the Broadway debut of Stephen Sondheim's 1991 musical Assassins...
