...strangely enough, was not performed to the traditional music entitled “Coda” or even the final “Apotheosis” but to Russian background music. Equally curious was that “Flowers” was performed by the corps de ballet en flat, while the Dewdrop Fairy, Morgan P. Richardson ’09, was en pointe.Despite these unusual choices, Raymond W. Keller III ’08 and Erin A. Straw ’07 wowed the crowd with their performance of “Arabian,” which concluded with...
...dreamscape, and the picture's title, A Carnival Evening, just adds to the enigma. The atmospheric, accomplished work could have been painted yesterday.

...Broadway production won the most Tony Awards in history, and the star pairing of Lane and Matthew Broderick shone brightly onstage. A film version with the original cast is sure to be pure comic gold, right? Well, kind of. The uninspired adaptation loses it charm because of the flat direction from Broadway choreographer/debut director Susan Stroman and over-the-top performances from its leads.The magic of the musical doesn’t fully translate; the film looks and feels unnecessary, as if it was made for the sole purpose of getting another dime out of a third adaptation.Tony-winners Lane...
