Down the hall, William Fitz-Gibbon, 50, whose degree in science is from M.I.T., uses an overhead projector to sketch a physics problem about the path of a falling projectile. As he extends the trajectory, 20 students jab at their calculators, shouting the coordinates of the projectile's path. One student looks up from time to time from an Agatha Christie mystery to call out answers. A young girl interrupts the instructor. He has been applying a shortcut formula to the problem, and she points out that his solution will not work in every case...

ALTHOUGH USUALLY striking, the musical's extravagant production occasionally works to its disadvantage. More than once, the slides appear at the wrong time, and the film's projector din seems better suited for a driver's education classroom than a Shubert theater. Because of so many microphones, whenever the high-stepping military chorus marches downstage the theater echoes unpleasantly. Even more disconcerting is the mikes' tendency to make songs should like a cast album on a stereo, further distancing the audience. "All our subtleties are gone," star Altay said after a show...
