That little three-note figure - doo-do-de, doo-do-de, doo-do-de - is still one of the most thrilling buildups in the history of the musical theater. But it's just the ice cream sundae at the end of Marvin Hamlisch's rich banquet of a score, with its equal helpings of Tin Pan Alley schmaltz and modernist invention. Sure, it's too soon for a Chorus Line revival. But it's also too soon to dismiss this show with mere nostalgia...

Lonsdorf sees the weekend performances as “a good learning tool to see what other people are doing and to improve your own art as well.”After a classical...
...saxophone solo. Rather, the monotony seems to be a management decision, made obvious in the plethora of outside influences the Wailers embrace. “Do You Remember,” “Habits,” and “Teenager in Love” are straight Doo-Wop. “Ska Jerk” consciously plagiarizes Junior Walker’s “Shotgun” and (less consciously) The Drifters’ “Stand By Me.” “Can?...
