...loss of student and House flavor. Three of the five main voices are Boston-area professional musicians; they carry the main musical burden for more than three hours. But in no sense do they overshadow the two undergraduate leads. Sebastian Knowles as Figaro and Nan Hughes as the lovesick pageboy Cherubino. Indeed these two make it obvious that casting professionals is not the only way to go. The valiant, largely student orchestra conducted by Malina and Michael Bank '86 teaches the same lesson; the musicians don't hang together too well on the score's subtleties, but they stay...
...finance, Susanna--sung by Eileen McNamara--complements him perfectly with a soaring soprano. In counterpoint to their stratagems and quarrels, the Count Almaviva (Mitchell C. Warren) and his wife (Elizabeth Walsh) accuse each other of infidelities, trap each other into admissions, and argue endlessly over the fate of the pageboy Cherubino, who adores the Countess...
...dropped to .284 in 1974, the first time below .300 in ten seasons, the Reds tried to cut the salary of the home-town hero by 20%.

Thus the world learned, in prose and tone that often seemed straight from a Monty Python satiric sketch, that Les ley Brown is a pretty woman of 5 ft. 5 in., who wears her brownish hair in a pageboy cut. In her turquoise-blue hospital room, she often lounges in an easy chair, wearing a brown-and-white bell-sleeved housecoat. She spends much of her time making telephone calls, doing puzzles, knitting, nibbling on mints and eating ordinary hospital food (a typical lunch: steak and kidney pie with mashed potatoes, followed by fruit tart). Occasionally, added the Evening Chronicle...
...Viola, who spends almost the whole play disguised as the pageboy Cesario, we have Lynn Redgrave, attired in an aquamarine suit and sporting a head of short red hair. She brings a surprisingly forceful voice and a sure comic instinct. It is fun to watch her lapse from her assumed machismo--as when, on exclaiming of Olivia, "She loves me sure," she girlishly claps her hands over her face, or repeatedly swoons at the prospect of having to duel with Sir Andrew. Her performance perhaps owes something to her recent portrayal of another witty and manly woman, Shaw's Saint...
