...ical, musical Seuss. Maybe nobody can twist sounds into balloon animals of rhyme the way Theodor Geisel did, but a Tony-laden team is going to try, adapting some of Geisel's Dr. Seuss books and characters into a Broadway show called Seussical: The Musical. The songs are by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime). Frank Galati, who won two Tony awards for The Grapes of Wrath, is the director; and Kathleen Marshall, who choreographed Kiss Me, Kate and many of the enthralling Encores! musical revivals, is in charge of the dancing. David Shiner, the Cirque du Soleil veteran...

...preemptive poke at Gore. Cheney got the nod, Bush said, because the longtime pol would make an able backup and "a valuable partner" in a Bush administration. Message: This guy will be a heavy hitter, not a potted plant. It's about competence, not charisma. Even his wife, Lynn Cheney, was welcomed as an education reformer...

There are architects who love the Parthenon. Greg Lynn has a thing for the blob. This would not only be the '50s sci-fi thriller about a belligerent wad of jelly. The blobs that beguile him are any "isomorphic polysurfaces," meaning shapes that are, well, blobs. Architecture is a profession in which the cube and sphere are still the literal building blocks. What Lynn prefers reminds you of amoebas and bundled foam. In the most pliant forms of nature, in very irregular geometry, he sees the future...

...Architecture has been nostalgic forever for a bygone era," he says. Lynn isn't. At 35, he's already a much discussed theorist who teaches at both UCLA and the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule in Zurich, Switzerland, where he is nothing less than professor of spatial conception and exploration. At FORM, his Los Angeles-based architecture firm, he practices what he preaches. When an online home-furnishing company, Prettygoodlife.com chose him to design its showrooms, it asked, he says, for "a blob that can mutate but maintain its basic identity." (Think of Liz Taylor in the '80s.) Lynn gave them swelling...

Most architects make paper drawings, then use design software to visualize those as walk-through images. But Lynn's "paperless" practice brings computers in more radically and from the start. Using programs developed for auto designers and film animators, Lynn can find his way into twisting forms. "You define space in the computer with curves," he says. "Usually an architect would draw points, and connect lines and planes with them. With these programs, we've shifted to thinking of space as the sheltered enclosures of a flexible handkerchief." One thing that makes Lynn new is that he knows why they...
