...virgin but after all she's been instructed in the arts of life (which Hero hasn't been) and when she sings "I'm lovely," she really is. But that voice ain't the voice of any virgin I ever heard; that's a Weimar cabaret voice, smokey Blue Angel sultriness...

...bright crazy quilt of American folk tunes, gospel hymns, marches and sentimental ballads that evoke pungent memories of an earlier time. Stein's libretto is her customary trenchant blend of logic with nonsense, historical characters like Lillian Russell (sung by Karen Beck) with imaginary figures like the mobile angel (Ashley Putnam). Snippets of political speeches are intercut with Stein's excursions into absurdities. "I understand you undertake to overthrow my undertaking," Susan B. accuses. "Daniel Webster needs an artichoke," reports the angel, scooting by on her skates...
