...subplot between Desi Speakenglish (Matthew I. Bohrer ’10) and his robot Betty Boopbeepboopboop (Daniel V. Kroop ’10) lacks the humor and energy of the main storyline. Set in a stereotypical 1950s restaurant, “Desi’s Diner,” the scene that introduces these two characters drags down the momentum of the show’s opening with uninteresting choreography, weak vocal performances, and consistently unfunny references to computer applications and the Internet that seem out of place.

You may add or subtract espresso shots, foam, ice, soymilk, and sugar-free hazelnut syrup as you see fit; you are free to project our personalities onto our drink to whatever extent you choose...
...chopstick-optional culinary formula, combined with an upscale ambiance and prime locations, has resonated well with customers and investors since the company went public in 1998. There are now 194 bistros in 39 U.S. states, along with 164 outlets of its more casual line of restaurants, Pei Wei Asian Diner, which launched in 2000. But as with many restaurant chains, the recession slowed the pace of expansion after consumers started ordering cheaper dishes and cooking for themselves at home. The stock fell to an eight-year low of $15 in November 2008 (it has since rebounded to roughly...
