...Tally Wacker band is hopelessly incompetent, and the women of the whorehouse would only excite, well, Texans. The Aggie chorus line is the hottest thing north of San Antone, but performs only one number (you may have seen it on the Tony awards--it was the one with all the embarrassing bleeps). Whorehouse makes up for its adult language with gleeful immaturity, unabashedly the source of the play's success. Remember, this is the land of Lone Star beer and the Dallas Cowpeople--how can you get serious about...

Hard-pressed music administrators, already adept at the Trustee Talk, the Backstage Rallying Cry and the Bargaining-Table Bluff, now have to add another number to their repertories: the Intermission Chat. It gets results. The San Francisco Opera has received 35,000 requests for the souvenir program it offered on a telecast of La Gioconda two weeks ago-some containing unsolicited contributions. To be sure, an episode of Mork & Mindy is seen by 44 million viewers, whereas a top-rated ballet or opera reaches only 8 million or 9 million. But this is easily twice the usual audience...
