...undermine the domestic standing of America's Arab allies, including Saudi Arabia. "My god, the idea of an occupation of Baghdad by the armed forces of the United States is unimaginable," said Saud. "This is the capital of Harun al Rashid, who was negotiating with Charlemagne.

It revived Oklahoma! and Into the Woods and Flower Drum Song. It adapted movies: Hairspray (John Waters' movie about early-'60s Baltimore), The Graduate, Marty, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? It even got choreographer Twyla Tharp, for Movin' Out, to become the first person to hold the phrases Billy Joel and dance number in her head simultaneously since whatever...
