...keep the six-day week. (They were overruled.) Undergraduates must meet strict curriculum requirements, including a third-year foreign-language literature course, and must pass comprehensive examinations in their majors.

...dancing, especially breaking, is an essentially male competition, but even in fashion the boys dominate. Gentlemen's Quarterly is treach. "Males have more plumage," says Monica Lynch, vice president of Tommy Boy records, a Manhattan rap label.

...choreography in that show is consistently exciting, as are the costumes and set. My One and Only possesses a stylish set as well. At times, it also reveals Tune's (or Sellars's, or Walsh's) flair. Tune and Twiggy dance on water, and a group of four elderly gentlemen occasionally appear singing an ironic refrain from an already performed song. The show must quicken and tighten its pace, though it should retain the gentle tone befitting Gershwin's consistently lovely music--the score includes "He Loves and She Loves," "How Long Has This Been Going On?" and "Kickin...
