At a Red Cross outpost, artificial legs rain from the sky in parachutes dropped from a plane, and the legless Afghani men race out of the tents to scavenge for them...

From Beatlemania to Saturday Night Fever, producers have looked for ways of bringing the music of rock's classic period to theater audiences. It's a smart commercial move: at their best, these shows can lure both the young (more apt to visit the theater if it disguises itself as a rock concert) and the getting-old (baby boomers who love any opportunity to revisit the playlist of their youth...
