...without much point. Nine, despite winning five Tonys in 1982, was a dull show then, and it's a dull show now. The main achievement of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, a revival of Terrence McNally's sentimental two-hander starring Stanley Tucci and Edie Falco, seems to have been to break up Tucci's marriage. (The show is closed, but he and Falco, who played a nude scene together, are now tabloid fodder.) Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was the first play, and still one of the best, in August Wilson's projected 10-play cycle...
Look at the gravestones for websites peddling financial news: Thestreet.co.uk (falco, geekspeak for "belly-up"), FTMarketWatch.com (quietly falcoed into the Financial Times' main site). But surprise: Breakingviews - a three-year-old, London-based site offering financial commentary, claims to be actually making money. Editor Hugo Dixon, a veteran journalist who wrote the FT's Lex column for many years, says the company made a profit in the fourth quarter of last year and expects one this quarter. "We're doing on-the-day financial commentary, focusing on a professional audience," boasts Dixon. "All of those elements are key to allowing...
Like Dr. Charles Falco, 54, a professor of optical sciences at the University of Arizona at Tucson. He enjoys art history, theater, ballet and travel. He has an extensive library in his home--and 17 motorcycles outside it. Falco's journeys have taken him as far as the Pyrenees Mountains, bordering Spain and France, and the back roads of western Ireland. "Riding a bike gives me a young feeling, like I'm 15 again," Falco says. "It's a great way to see the world and awaken the senses...
...anything--but a well-traveled off-Broadway theatergoer these days is starting to feel like a voyeur in a Chelsea bathhouse. In just the past few months, we have had a naked Frankenstein's creature (Monster), a naked undercover cop (Blue Surge) and naked just about everybody (Mnemonic). Edie Falco and Stanley Tucci play a full-frontal nude scene at the start of the Broadway revival of Terrence McNally's Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune. (Falco covers up fairly quickly, but Tucci flounces around for another five minutes.) Now entering its third year off-Broadway is Naked...
...since the last new episode (a delay, says Chase, caused by cast illnesses and the long shooting schedule necessary to give the show its cinematic look). That's 16 nail-biting months since mobster Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) had his daughter's ex-boyfriend killed; his wife Carmela (Edie Falco) began studying for her real estate license and worrying about her complicity in her husband's crimes; his psychiatrist, Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco), was recovering from her rape; son Anthony Jr. (Robert Iler) was challenging Tony's parental authority; Mob captain Ralphie Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano) was testing Tony's authority...
