Potemkin, a master of ceremonies winningly played by Keith Charles, presides over a land of enchantment peopled by a handsome blond Orphan, a crestfallen Angel, a bored and impotent Mr. Rich and a group of Revelers. With a straight melodic line and the unpretentiously apt lyrics of the songs, the play is one of those good things that come in small packages...

Long after it had healed, he insisted that the stage manager announce to the audience that Mr. Hoffman was appearing with a cut finger. It was a blatant bid for public sympathy." It also appears that Dustin never became too big to pick up small change. Jimmy Shine Producer Zev Bufman calls him "a hard bargainer who held us up for half the profits on the $1.00 souvenir programs because we didn't clear material about...
