...honest, the new revival, though fluid and exceptionally well sung, isn?t quite ideal. Kelli O?Hara, as Nellie, has a pretty, pool-clear voice that - in earlier shows like the revival of Pajama Game - impressed me as the closest thing to Mary Martin this side of heaven. But in the role that Martin made famous, she falls a couple of notches short on the adorability meter. Danny Burstein?s Luther Billis could use more Bilko-esque humor, and Matthew Morrison as Lt. Cable is bland. On the other hand, Paulo Szot, as de Becque, scales down the operatic bombast...
...procedure creates new complications. Though wound healing may be improved, the danger of internal leakage and subsequent infection is a serious one - particularly with cuts through the stomach or colon. Doctors are also still using traditional laparoscopic surgical tools - not ideal, because they aren't as flexible as surgeons really need for such extensive internal maneuvering. So far, however, several surgical teams in the U.S. have performed partial hysterectomies and removed appendixes, gallbladders and kidneys via patients' natural orifices, and are hoping to attempt more complicated gastrointestinal procedures in the future.

...this range is crucial when she’s the object of the play’s conflict. The actors also use silence and dramatic pauses to their advantage, adding subtext to the clever banter. For a show that demands such immediacy, the Adams House Pool Theatre is an ideal venue. The audience can witness up close and personal each significant glance and small gesture. The set—designed by Davone J. Tines ’09—is simple enough to establish the location, yet doesn’t distract from the verbal clashes between the actors...
