...theatergoer can only respond with a nervous gulp. The good news is that despite the show's occasional pretensions (and a gauntlet of critics suddenly quite protective of a musical they never much liked in the first place), Hwang has succeeded. Flower Drum Song has been rescued from the dustbin of theater history and made relevant again without getting weighed down by political correctness.

Watching Ellie, starring former Seinfeld co-star JULIA (Elaine) LOUIS-DREYFUS, appears headed for the same dustbin as Michael (Kramer) Richards' The Michael Richards Show and Jason (George) Alexander's Bob Patterson.

I say that the dustbin is a pretty sure bet for this one. I more liked the novel than disliked it, but its author will survive in my mind mostly as a rising talent, not as a full-fledged master. For all Moth Smoke's insights, it smells of trendiness, and I suspect that it will not survive past its distinct historical setting--a setting made possible...
