...Maggie the "cat," steamiest of Williams heroines. Turner's name is billed alone above the title; her solo portrait (in a slip) graces the program cover; her presence has drawn the $2 million advance sale. Thus the crucial question is whether Turner, who debuted on Broadway in the lighthearted Gemini in 1978 and has not been back since, can handle the role. The answer is an emphatic yes.
