...Preston's performance in the original production and the film, Craig Bierko is a reasonably charismatic leading man. What his renditions of the classic songs 'Trouble' and '76 Trombones' lack in depth character, they more than make up for in energy. Rebecca Luker delivers a surprisingly arresting performance as Marian the Librarian, and her voice remains rich and beautiful. The choreography, too, is largely enjoyable to watch, though it certainly doesn't break with any conventions. Unfortunately, a few concrete and probably financially-motivated decisions put a damper on the proceedings and prevent the show from achieving the giddy heights...
...symbol that attracts the crowds. "That first man was just 8 ft. tall, and it was enough," Harvey says. "Something bigger than they are--that's all people need.

...long time later, Marian Anderson would recall her early years in south Philadelphia. "I'd think, 'Can't I sing? Can't I be a singer because I'm colored?'" Nobody was more entitled to that musical success, proclaims the meticulously researched new biography Marian Anderson: A Singer's Journey (Scribner), by Brandeis professor of music Allan Keiler. By 10 years old, Anderson was already known locally as "the baby contralto." But it would take an uphill fight, time spent in Europe, even the intercession of Eleanor Roosevelt, for her to triumph over discrimination in the U.S. It was only...
