...Wedding Singer This musical version of the Adam Sandler movie looks like nothing so much as one of Broadway's ubiquitous jukebox musicals ? in which a cheesy, tongue-in-cheek story is draped with old pop hits from Elvis or the Beach Boys. Except that this time someone has written new songs, which kind of defeats the purpose. The show winks at the audience so relentlessly, with references to ?80s icons from Flashdance to Mr. T, that eventually you just tune out.

...your spring break tan?” the event invitation queried. “All of this sacrilege can be had at the Owl Catholic Schoolgirl Party.”Despite the offensive nature of such an event, most of Harvard’s Christians turned the other cheek. But had another of Harvard’s final clubs hosted a “Burqas Off!” party during Ramadan, the entire community would have been up in arms. The Harvard Foundation would have nervously proclaimed a town hall meeting, and the national media would have surely picked...
