...changed in the nine years since The Lion King's innovative mix of puppetry, dance and set design transformed Broadway. The era of the giant musical spectacle is in eclipse. The real news on Broadway over the past few seasons has been the success of smaller, edgier musicals: shows like Urinetown, Avenue Q and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. A decade ago, these musicals would have been content to settle for a small but enthusiastic coterie of off-Broadway fans. Now they're moving to Broadway, having long runs and stealing Tonys away from the big boys...
...only a vote or two, she's not likely to get much further than her 100-hour plan. More conservative Democrats, many of them newly elected from Republican-leaning districts, would hold the balance of power. If the Democrats have a more comfortable majority, however, the party's edgier, angrier side could emerge, especially on the question of whether or how quickly to withdraw from Iraq.

The store will be located in the space previously occupied by Harnett’s, a natural health and beauty products supplier. Miguel McKelvey, the architect and project manager for the new location, said that the company seeks out older...
...music and sound effects with the deluge of visual artistry and action to draw a greater conclusion than a prettily shot film. For instance, a medley of barhopping and raucous revelry is narrated by the soft, acoustic music that permeates the rest of the film. Also, some of the edgier scenes incorporate voices and other mundane sounds, transforming the expected into something unanticipated and unsettling.Although all of the actors were convincing in their portrayals, Edward Norton found the greatest success in his most challenging character. Harlan’s emotional layers could be completely lost if a less adroit actor...
