...Ohio's second largest city?behind Cleveland, ahead of Cincinnati?with a metropolitan population of about 1.1 million, and shows signs of considerable prosperity, it does not have a major symphony orchestra, a notable theater, a ballet troupe, or a big-league art museum. It also does not possess a single tablecloth restaurant of even one-star distinction. If you want a good French dinner, they say, try Maisonette or Pigall's in Cincinnati, a two-hour drive.

In one six-minute number. they perform a hybrid of jazz and ballet combinations choreographed to vintage rock music. Tommy also boasts some sophisticated multimedia effects; obviously, the show demands that attention be paid to sound and lighting. We sincerely hope the change of scene hasn't irrepairably disrupted the production, and that the show opens with enthusiasm and expertise undiminished...
...fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them) then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess...
