...except the final chorus, which includes lines like, "But hear the thunder from the left, denouncing property as theft," and is sung to the tun of the British Labour Party's song ("The People's Flag is Deepest Red"). While there are other lines in the play that hint at a political interpretation--money breeds money, especially through corruption, we are told--these are generally passed over by the cast. And not surprisingly, either: it would take a true fanatic to turn an 18th-century farce into guerrilla theater...
...enthusiasm for Hamilton, have known that he was born illegitimate in the Leeward Islands of the West Indies, his father the disinherited fourth son of an aristocratic Scots family. That part of the Hamilton story, briefly told, has suggested a certain domestic warmth surrounding the child, and even a hint of affluence. Flexner's research, he says, "turns the accepted story completely upside down. I found not affluence but relative squalor; not warmth but betrayal. Hamilton's home was a shambles." Being illegitimate, Alexander was officially designated an "obscene child." His mother Rachel was evidently something...
...April and 38 degrees out. Not only that, but a lot of my friends spent vacation in Bermuda, and have come back the color of either coffee ice-cream or the inside of a watermelon.

Even the unhappy ending is understated, though there is a hint of further tragedy to come. There will be more to this family's life, and not all, of it a misery, before we write finis either to it or to the institution in general. All one can say is that the warning signs of decay have been laid out soberly...
...getting typed as a kind of Steiff Toy hoodlum. This has something to do, of course, with the parts that have brought him fame: Vinnie Barbarino in Kotter, Tony in Saturday Night Fever, even Danny Zuko, the cuddly tough guy in Grease, all rough-and-ready proles with a hint of self-mockery and a double dose of wistfulness. Travolta's low profile will be his best chance of holding onto his privacy and whatever portion of himself he wishes to preserve for his intimates. The public Travolta, personable and shy, canny and eager, is like a picture...
