Other actors fare equally poorly. Anne Hathaway, the Hasty Pudding Theatrical Society’s newly beloved Woman of the Year, is somehow both weird and unattractive. Hathaway, whose character moonlights as an unsympathetic accent-swapping phone-sex operator, should have had the opportunity to flex her acting muscles—as she did in “Havoc” when she loses her top and has group sex with Hispanic gang members, thus shedding her persona as “Princess Diaries” sweetheart.

Dancewicz and Klyce perform a duet, “Let the Men Handle It,” that is by far the show’s best musical moment; both voices are powerful and the entire scene is cohesive, energetic, and humorous...
