...Sorrenti who turned the lights out on Harvard before it literally happened. After assisting on Tricia Devine's goal at 1:45, the junior from Sudbury, Ma. waited until time had almost run out in the second before doing the maringue by three Harvard defenders and letting a twine-minded wrist shot loose from the left face-off circle...
...cent stipulation and establish the Assembly on the basis of the 52 per cent of the turnout which supported the plan. The SNP has threatened to abandon Callaghan and call for a vote of no confidence in Parliament. Without the support of the SNP, Callaghan would almost certainly have to call new elections which, given the current state of the economy, could be disastrous...
...painfully few singers in this show; some are barely able to carry a tune let alone handle phrasing. Sonia Dula, as the ingenue Neferbinkist, is the most obvious example of this. Her performance as a sweet young thing depends on a pretty face and a lack of presence. Apparently, almost no one can dance either, to judge from the few steps Kay Stone choreographed. It's difficult to judge her abilities, although people could have at least been drilled to allieviate sloppy execution. One number, "Sahara Stomp" was good, using well-rehearsed, technically simple ensemble movements. The music to this...
...these quirky ideas conflict with each other and Strauss's score. Worse, they muddle even further a typically inane--though enjoyable--operetta plot. "Fledermaus" means "bat," but the title has almost no relation to the story of marital cheatings, mixed identities, and revenge. In fact, as the plot wanders from Eisenstein's home to Orlofsky's ballroom to the local jail, you realize that it's all just an excuse for the dance music. In the famous trio "So muss allein ich bleiben" ("I must remain alone, then"), Rosalinda--whom Gretchen Johnson plays with vocal agility but no sense...
Thebes Like Us. Misdirected and acted with varying amounts of ease, this Leverett House show almost makes it. Andy Sellon's words and Andrew Schulman's music intermittently entertain, but the production borders on the amateurish rather than the amateur. This show harbors yet another tap number, yet another '50s song, and puns galore. Dr. Livingstone I. Presume and his nubile but crackers assistant, Rosetta Stone (Jon Isham and Dede Schmeiser), set out to solve the energy crisis, but land in ancient Thebes. The satire's often undirected, and Brigadoon did the end better. Still, audience response has been good...
