...pains after a hard day's singing and-of all things-hoofing with Comedienne Carol Burnett. The pair joined forces last week for a TV show titled Sills and Burnett at the Met, a CBS special scheduled for next fall. The program features a blues and opera duet by the entertainers-and a demanding tap-dancing finale to be filmed at New York City's Metropolitan Opera House. "I had my first tap lessons when I was five," explained Sills, now 46. "They were 50? an hour, and I learned four steps. We haven't used...
...American beliefs than in evoking the anomie that results from their loss. The first break with the viciously comic tenor of the early part of the show is the hauntingly elegiac "Nothing to be Sure Of." A dirge on the familiar theme of the son lost at war, this duet is made memorable by the beautiful blending of Greg Gordon's baritone and Carol Flynn's crystalline soprano, the best voices in a generally proficient cast...

That shocked a friend--such an act treated as if just one more jitter/jiggle/jolt...
...Cohen attempt but fail. Monreal creates a highly-charged atmosphere in "Piosenki" which underlies his expressive end, unlike the other three who substitute the ambience of drama for its substance in "Yin and Yang," "Chidori" and "Goat Dance." Danced to throaty cabaret songs composed by Zygmunta Koniecznego, Monreal's duet has less specific associations than the other drama and succeeds in its allusiveness. Laura Young and Woytek Louski sweep through a succession of breath-arresting lifts, revealing the tenderness and trust implicit in "duet...
