...year-old Murphy and 19-year-old Laura Benanti. (Another gifted starlet coming off of a the train.) At the Saturday night performance I ran into Harvey Weinstein, the Miramax Films co-chairman who has backed such Broadway shows as "The Producers," "Sweet Smell of Success," Baz Luhrmann's "La Boheme," and who would win an Oscar for Best Picture when he produced the 2002 movie version of "Chicago" (directed by Kathleen Marshall's brother Rob).

It revived Oklahoma! and Into the Woods and Flower Drum Song. It adapted movies: Hairspray (John Waters' movie about early-'60s Baltimore), The Graduate, Marty, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
