...show works better as an intellectual exercise than a moving theatrical experience. Director Graciela Daniele's rather dry production dwells in ponderous shadows for much of the first act and shifts abruptly (and half-heartedly) to Gay Nineties Chicago in the second. The transformation of Marie's lover (Anthony Crivello, solid if a bit too modern) from itinerant seaman to rising machine politician is not adequately explained--nor is the matter of why an ambitious candidate in 1890s Chicago would find it advantageous to claim two mixed-race kids as his own. Most crucial, LaChiusa's multihued, melodically challenging music...
...Brent Carver, one of Canada's leading actors for a decade. As a fey, movie-obsessed interior decorator imprisoned for homosexuality, Carver far surpasses the cinematic performance of the role that won William Hurt a 1985 Oscar. In the less rewarding part of a revolutionary cell mate, Anthony Crivello acts with bluff intensity and sings with beauty and power. The men's cramped quarters and surrounding tiers of cagelike squalor become a park, a movie palace, a Russian alley, even a vast, symbolic spiderweb through inspired film projections by set designer Jerome Sirlin, making a dazzling Broadway debut after...
...very raw -- material is unlikely for song and dance. The setting is a Latin American prison cell shared by a man in for political insurrection (Anthony Crivello) and one in for the social insurrection of homosexuality (Brent Carver).

Book writer Terrence McNally and nonpareil lyricist Ebb make the points, not always beloved of the Marxist left represented by the revolutionary, that there is no political freedom without sexual...
...identified all 11 of the victims killed in Dahmer's apartment. Police are following leads to determine whether he was responsible for other unresolved slayings. At a hearing last week, Dahmer, who is being held on a $1 million bond, sat impassively in a Milwaukee courtroom as Judge Frank Crivello read out the charges on four counts of first-degree intentional homicide, each of which carries a mandatory life sentence. More charges are expected to follow soon...
LIKE ANY PLAY with no individual stars. A Chorus Line depends on a fine close-working company. Almost all of this cast are stunning, but a few shine above the rest. Diana (Mary Lou Crivello), as a tough but warm kid from the Bronx is delightful; he solo "Nothing," about her frustration and growing confidence as an actress, is uplifting and powerful. Among the men Mike (John Dolf) and Richie (Woodrow Thompson) stand out for their fast footwork, strong voices and sheer exuberance. And Val, played by Lois Englund, excels in the bawdy "Dance: Ten: Looks: Three," as the once...
