...doll Adelaide, goofs things up to near disaster but remains one of the most hysterically funny--and sweetly romantic--'guys' in the entire production. Mills, no stranger to the Hasty Pudding stage, lets the less farcical side of his acting abilities shine through while still making the audience howl with laugher and exuding a voice to swoon over...

...Nabokov lost his own brother, whom the Nazis arrested and killed because he was gay. Literature, unlike philosophy, is not a consolation. When in Armenia they mourn a child, parents cry, "May I be the one to bear your pain!" They can't and Heaven can't hear the howl. Oh, Matthew Shepard, tsaved tanem...
