...doing right now. To err is Midler; to tour, divine. This star needs to be appreciated live, where her voice sounds fuller than on records, where her jokes have an easier intimacy than on TV, where she can raid the piano bench of every pop composer from Jule Styne to John Prine and make it sound completely her, where her tiny frame and infectious smile fill a huge stage. And where she looks fit and pretty. Strutting in her royal blue lounge outfit, she tells the crowd, "I bet you didn't expect me to look quite . . . this . . . fabulous." Somehow...

...staged by Newton and starring the estimable Seana McKenna, formerly a jewel of Stratford, plus a novel Saint Joan that turns her trial into a modern-day government inquiry cum media event. For popular tastes there are Blithe Spirit, Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None and the Jule Styne musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Newton is also directing a Victorian melodrama, The Silver King, presented as a Dickensian panorama. The other novelty is Carl Sternheim's 1911 satire of German bourgeois class anxiety, The Unmentionables, adapted to McCarthy-era America. The laughs it now evokes are mostly sentimental recognition...

...latest American to have had two first-run hits playing on Broadway at the same time (City of Angels and The Will Rogers Follies) since the glory days of Rodgers and Hammerstein, when America ruled the boards, and probably the last active one (unless Burton Lane and Jule Styne have something up their sleeves) to write the classic American jazz song that the young singers are just now rediscovering...

...already ornaments every TV late show. Loesser's catchy titles and skewed wit helped lodge many a song in the musical muscle memory of anyone who loves vintage pop: Heart and Soul and Two Sleepy People (music by Hoagy Carmichael), I Don't Want to Walk Without You (Jule Styne), Jingle Jangle Jingle (Joseph Lilley), Hoop-Dee-Doo (Milton DeLugg). And when Loesser began marrying his own music to his words, he hatched even more smashes: What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? On a Slow Boat to China and a few instant standards, including No Two People...

...sacred remnant of the musical at its mid-century peak -- a fusion of wit, precision, melody and high spirits -- that an aging generation of theater lovers miss terribly and want back. "We are in an era of high school production numbers and arias set to a backbeat," says Jule Styne, who wrote songs for five Robbins musicals. "A lot of people will see this show and realize what they've missed." Co-producer Emanuel Azenberg must hope so too. "Shows that have been successful lately are just not for me," he says. "Then I see the suite of dances from...
