...Town starts with a thrill: a facsimile of the Brooklyn Bridge spanning the stage, with the orchestra perched on it. Three sailors (winsome Jose Llana, robust Robert Montano, gangly Jesse Tyler Ferguson) roam wartime New York and hook up with three gals (petite Sophia Salguero, glamorous Kate Suber, fireplug Lea DeLaria).

At Munich her image was set indelibly, warts and all, when she took off and whirled, airborne, into the stands. That was the embarrassing part. Then she went back out again, her radiant smile lighting up the arena. Among the Americans, the national champ is Kristi...

...Dianne Ferratwinkie (Maurice "Mo" Rocca) is the clear stand-out among Denuar's daughters. Rocca makes his character something more than a Jewish-American princess with a Snuffleupagus physique-he makes the character an audience favorite.
