...pity that the Boston Conservatory Theater performance of Where's Charley has already closed. Running from November 19 to 22, Where's Charley was a delightful reminder of the heyday of musical theater in the 1950s. No complicated or twisted plot here; just a comic combo of expertly done song-and-dance numbers, flawless acting and a little crossdressing to round...
...more effective than a single medication against hepatitis C. Until now interferon--injected three times a week--was the only treatment. But studies show that adding the antiviral pill ribavirin can more than double the odds of eradicating the liver disease.

Onstage, the five band members seem more like a jazz combo than a rock band, playing tightly coordinated phrases that suddenly veer off into flights of improvisation. Matthews sings, plays guitar and projects an uncomplicated, populist charisma that dispenses with rock-star pretense...
