...scenic design, by John Arnone, is appealing once your eyes adjust to the glare. The stage is framed by a painted screen decorated with cheesy '50s icons (tail fins, an "I Like Ike" button) and the omnipresent numerals 1-9-5-7. (That's the year, get it?) Howell Binkley's lighting comes in the same day glo hues, and succeeds most notably when the choreography is silhouetted against bright orange and yellow backlight. The costuming is outrageously gaudy; after the fifth combination of pink and black leather you begin to long for some nice pastels...
...film's greatest successes are its wonderful scenic design and cinematography. The Kittredges' Fifth Avenue apartment is precisely the kind you would envision. The huge window overlooking Central Park, the walls draped in red velvet and the expensive but rather eclectic mix of knickknacks and furniture, are terribly authentic...
...weekend here and you'll never want to live anywhere else," proclaimed the sales brochure for the 42 lots of the Whitewater project near Flippin in northern Arkansas. However, despite the scenic snapshots and the homey-but- hokey handwritten spiel, no one was buying into the forested real estate development.

In 1980 McDougal loaned her $30,000 to build, own and ultimately sell a three-bedroom ranch...
...that it uses footage from it as the basis of TV ads. Cyrano the Musical, an import from Amsterdam, retells a much told romance, written in the 19th century and set in the 17th. Disney's Beauty and the Beast will transpose to the stage the hit songs and scenic devices of the 1991 animated film, itself based on a venerable fairy tale. If art is supposed to be relevant, Broadway is missing the message. And if art is an escapist time machine, Broadway's has one setting -- backward...
...mountainous terrain subject to very heavy snowfalls, avalanches, flooding, severe underground seepage and seismic activity. If, or when, the tailings dump fails, it will funnel heavy metals into Fisher Creek, which becomes the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, the only "wild and scenic" river in northwestern Wyoming. If the Army Corps of Engineers or the Environmental Protection Agency vetoes the wetlands destruction, the next best site would require a more complicated dam, and if, or when, it failed, the mess would head downstream to Yellowstone Park...
