...show wearied into its third hour. And some of the choreography--the term may be too lofty--suggests John Travolta more than a Japanese noble. But the leads are all good. Donald Hovey's Nanki-Poo is bereft and expressive. Paul O'Neill's Pooh-Bah is engaging and suitably gorged, if a little stock. Dennis Crowley, as the Lord High Executioner is the spitting image of Alfred E. Neumann, and reacts to this madness just as the old man would, reeling off his "list" with pizazz.

As signed first to Vienna, he soon became a Latin American virtuoso, serving in six countries and learning, as he went, superb Spanish, Portuguese, English and half a dozen local dialects. The pastoral job Pope Paul found for him in 1969 would have discouraged a lesser man: the Archbishopric of Cagliari in Sardinia. Baggio gamely traveled the island in a simple black cassock, exhorting fraternal love in place...
