Ted Bundy, one of the coolest criminal customers in recent memory, was reduced to Jell-O in the final days before his execution, sweatily offering up clues to his other killings if only the state would grant him the stay he suddenly, desperately wanted. Jeffrey McDonald, the Green Beret captain famously tried 20 years ago for the murder of his family, was the very picture of the wrongly accused man, until he took the stand and descended into whining and self-pity - pointing a finger with precisely the kind...

It's the musical theater's Second Coming...
