...Then there's the cast. I saw The Producers three times, with three different sets of stars, and it became abundantly clear how much Nathan Lane, the original Max Bialystock, brought to the show, milking every line for laughs that even Brooks may not have known were there. This time, Brooks makes do with an array of competent Broadway vets. Roger Bart (the gay assistant in The Producers) is likable, but only that, as Dr. Frankenstein. Sutton Foster, one of Broadway's song-and-dance wonders, seems to be slumming as the Swedish bombshell Inga, a part...

"The solution is to organize and organize and organize." And the agents of that change will be young people like Jenkins and Tolkan, the college-age members of the Millennial generation, born after 1980. These post Cold War kids have grown...
...Summoning Spirits? I was disappointed to see Brazil's President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, cast alongside Hugo Chávez - a clearly paranoid and delusional man - as simply another "leftist anti-Yanqui" South American leader [Oct. 8]. It seems that Tim Padgett is more interested in stirring the old ghosts of anti-commie sentiment, which in South America led to the disastrous and brutal rule of the U.S.-backed military juntas (from which many countries are still reeling), than in presenting us with an accurate account of current politics.
