...Class of '69 said, "You're seniors? I'm a senior too!"). And because alums appreciate The Game in a completely different way, putting us together merely spoilt the experience for both sides. The students were standing up and cheering, all excited, and grumpy old men (I use the gender construction specifically) kept telling them to sit down because they "couldn't see the game." Shouldn't someone in ticketing have realized that a large part of the fun of The Game for us students is standing with our friends and contemporaries, chanting all the usual cheers--"safety school...
Gore's secret consultant, the one no one would talk about, wanted to fight back. Just a few days before, TIME had reported that the Gore campaign was paying gender theorist Naomi Wolf $15,000 a month to provide the Vice President with everything from wardrobe tips to big-picture theories of the race--specifically, that Gore must challenge Clinton if he was to become the "alpha male" in the presidential contest.

The viewer...
...swings in the Coney Island scene provide a visual metaphor for the suburban front-porch-swing respectability for which Charity longs, and the choreography of a dance scene in which the women shake their breasts and the men perform pelvic thrusts, and then switch roles, provides a welcome gender-bender in a musical which at times seems dated. Subtle twists like these, along with a dance hall owner who sings in falsetto, belie thoughtful direction and a deep engagement with the text that produces a musical...
