...much will we care when it does? Niffenegger is an extraordinarily sensitive and accomplished writer, and Her Fearful Symmetry is a work of lovely delicacy. With its gravestones and ghosts and pallid, hollow-eyed waifs, it's pure goth porn. At times, it's more. When the lonely phantom Elspeth, longing for solidity, snuggles her ectoplasmic self into a little desk drawer for comfort, it's so viscerally convincing, you wonder how a corporeal being could ever have imagined...
...Jumping from one crisis to another, Kristina may prove not only too epic but too episodic - and far too dour - for a Broadway audience. The age of the serious musicals, your Les Miz and Phantom of the Opera, ended abruptly when The Producers and Mamma Mia! showed that theatergoers preferred perky, gaudy, old-fashioned musical comedies.

Perhaps because English is not his first language, he approaches clichés and idioms with a delight that turns them for the better. “You can push...
...Family patriarch Joe Jackson was also front and center. He was one of the first family members to arrive at the event, exiting one of their five rented Phantom Rolls Royces with his grandchildren in tow. A controversial figure, Joe spoke at the funeral in defense of his son. "He felt people had been trying to cheat Michael," says the guest. "He said that they will find out what led to Michael's death. And said they will not rest until they found...
