The most visibly altered of the Watergate conspirators, Ehrlichman has grown a grizzly beard, left his wife Jeanne, and moved from Seattle to a rented adobe house in an older section of Santa Fe.

But in the first act, especially, not even Voight Kempson's professional choreography makes the songs more than pleasant breaks in the action...
