...cast personifies four adaptations to a harsh dating scene--detachment (inquisitive Carrie), aggression (lusty Samantha), caution (timid Charlotte) and neurosis (tense Miranda, played by Cynthia Nixon with a smile as brittle and quivery as the crust on a creme brulee). They're looking for not just love but also victory, over male entitlement, over a culture that despises older single women and over myths they can't compete with.

...know from her recorded work; this Houston was deeper, tougher, feistier. Her voice is not as bottled-water pure as it once was, but it's more real now, breaking on the high notes, letting emotion spill out. She belted out her hits, of course--I Will Always Love You, You Give Good Love--but also soared through a gospel medley that took the crowd higher than mere pop and confirmed her status as one of today's most accomplished live entertainers...
