Director Kirk Williams portrays Jimmy's dissatisfaction as stemming from Mahagonny's obvious flaws (its lack of concern for anything other than human pleasure), while the libretto itself and an understanding of Brecht's theater would indicate that Jimmy is no better than...

But that problem and any others shrank with the big victory. The next day, agents clogged Laura's phone line. Producer Tom Collins signed him up for the Campbell's Soups spring tour, for which Galindo will get about $200,000. In fact, Collins invited him for the end of the winter tour, and Galindo was thrilled. "It's wonderful!" he says. "You just step...
