...season is a stage version of that very American pop artifact from the '70s, Saturday Night Fever. The show, adapted by Nan Knighton and directed by Arlene Phillips, reprises the familiar story of the Brooklyn kid who makes it big on the disco floor, adding a dose of Vegas-like pizazz and high-octane choreography. Even the old BeeGees songs sound good when sung below falsetto range (How Deep Is Your Love as a lovers' duet? You bet). All in all, it's a shameless crowd pleaser but easily watchable...

...fitting, somehow, that Chanel was often photographed holding a cigarette or standing in front of her famous Art Deco wall of mirrors. Fashion tends to involve a good dose of smoke and mirrors, so it should come as no surprise that Gabrielle Chanel's version of her life involved a multitude of lies, inventions, cover-ups and revisions. But as Prada said to me: "She was really a genius. It's hard to pin down exactly why, but it has something to do with her wanting to be different and wanting to be independent...
