Broadway has been aching for years for a splashy, razzle-dazzle, old-style American musical. Last week the main stem got its wish -- not once but twice. The only hitch: Cabaret dates to 1966 and Anything Goes to 1934. So their joyous returns do not prove that theater people know how to make 'em like they used to. What these revivals do display is a corps of talented Yanks who can design, direct, choreograph and perform with all the panache and pizazz of the Britons who of late have dominated the musical stage...

Nowadays pre-Broadway tryouts are usually limited to one city, unless a show has a big-name cast or is a revival of a fondly remembered musical, like the current tours of Cabaret and West Side Story.

...transform their feelings about AIDS and its sufferers into art. Theater has already produced a shelf of contentious dramatic literature: Hoffman's As Is, Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart, Harvey Fierstein's Safe Sex, Robert Chesley's Jerker, or the Helping Hand, Alan Bowne's Beirut. The D.C. Cabaret Troupe is performing its new musical, A Dance Against Darkness: Living with AIDS, in Washington. NBC broadcast the first AIDS TV movie, An Early Frost, in 1985, and this week CBS airs An Enemy Among Us, in which a teenager gets AIDS from a transfusion...

...sellout. A year later, when he repeated the concert, Bostonians talked of his "traditional" Symphony Hall year-ender. Next season public television filmed the show. By this winter the year-ender had grown to a three- performance weekend exhaust-a-thon with Symphony Hall set up cabaret-style and tickets pegged up to $24.50. Rush followed what he calls a Club 47 format, an idea he worked out with Sykes. What it boils down to is not just a lot of guest talent but as much interaction as possible among the performers...
