...experimental and abstract works while warmly receiving new performances of old favorites such as Brahms' Second Symphony, Carmen and Swan Lake. The mood of theatergoers was dramatized neatly on Broadway when an effort to revive Hair fizzled dismally with critics and public alike, while Man of La Mancha, with all its improbable visions, came back successfully (to run alongside such other hits as the shamelessly treacly Annie and Neil Simon's latest domestic frolic, Chapter Two).
