...song. A unanimous scene-stealer is Donna/Oolie's (Jessica Jackson '99) reluctantly downcast yet spitfire rendition of "You Can Always Count on Me," a powerful member that tops a overall winning performance as the ill-used secretary, Bobbie (Sarah Gurfield)could make cement dissolve with her smoky "WithEvery Breath I Take." And when the MalloryKingsley (Sara Yellen '00) which Stone has beentold to turn in, turns up in his bed with aturn-on song--oh my. So much for objectifiedfemales...

For him, everything the press writes isn't worth "a thimble-full of rat's piss." Always mentioned in the same breath as the faltering Mr. P is the superhuman Placido Domingo (everyone's second favorite tenor.) Hoelterhoff describes Domingo's unfailing energy, which allows him to conduct a matinee performance of one opera, star as lead role in another opera that evening, then hop on a plane to the other side...
