...apprentice work of the Bard's, but it does contain premonitory inklings of Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night. However, the theme of young love is scarcely served by this dryly mocking adaptation. The musical resembles an animated jukebox and comes alive only in one sultry number, delivered by a one-woman heat wave named Jonelle Allen. The excuse for ventures of this sort is that they render the classics accessible. Actually, such shows are merely masked in the accessories of modernity - rock music, randy deshabille, silly props and lofty panfraternal sentimentality. The resulting trivia are perfectly suited...
...college, one to become an obstetrician on Long Island and the other the president of a publishing firm in Indianapolis. And Bubbles? Bubbles did indeed become an opera star, and a smart one at that. She became, in fact, one of the biggest opera stars the U.S. has ever produced. She sang leading roles at the world's great opera houses, from La Scala to Covent Garden to San Francisco, commanded top fees of $10,000 for concert performances and made recordings that turned into classical bestsellers. She became a $300,000-a-year, one-woman industry...

They are the unofficial patron saints of English, and it is these saints of the word whom the distinguished Irish actress Siobhan McKenna is honoring in a superior one-woman show called Here Are Ladies. Selections for the off-Broadway program are drawn from Yeats and Synge, Beckett and Joyce, as well as others; they all mirror women as seen through Irish eyes...
...stage of Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium. Joyfully middleclass, fiftyish, a lady who likes fine clothes, Kathryn Kuhlman looks for all the world like dozens of the women in her audience. But hidden underneath the 1945 Shirley Temple hairdo is one of the most remarkable Christian charismatics in the U.S. She is, in fact, a veritable one-woman shrine of Lourdes. In each of her recent services-in Los Angeles, Toronto and her home base of Pittsburgh-miraculous cures seem to occur...
