CABARET, winner of eight Tony Awards, including one for Best Musical, is all binding and no book. The ambiance of the musical, set in the decadent Berlin of the 1930s, is as sinuous and sexy as original sin, but the show's plot line and score are all predictability and convention...
...merely tired the Celtics: in four of the five games, they jumped into early leads, only to run out of gas. The last game was typical. In the first quarter, the Celtics were ahead by eleven points; by half time their margin was down to five-and the final score was Philadelphia 140, Boston 116. The 76ers still had to get past the Western Division's San Francisco Warriors to claim their first N.B.A. title. But many fans and experts argued that the two best teams in pro basketball had already played each other-and there was no question...
Brewer has finished second 14 times in his career. He did earn $75,000 last year, but the only tournament he won was the Pensacola Open - when Doug Sanders, who was leading by four strokes, forgot to sign his score card, and was disqualified. Last year, Brewer set some sort of record for frustration in the space of one week. He three-putted the 72nd hole in the Masters to blow a one-stroke lead, then lost the play-off to Jack Nicklaus; he frittered away a five-stroke lead in the last 18 holes of Las Vegas' Tournament...
...harborside atmosphere of Piraeus and things Greek, Illya need never have left the port of Manhattan. Except for the sterns of a couple of steamers, the sets are routine Broadway. Manos Hadjidakis' diluted bouzouki score is slumberously unvaried, and no number equals the appeal of the repeated Never on Sunday. The dancers spin like zany revolving doors and slap themselves like victims in a mosquito plague, and there is never the faintest hint of those teasingly slow, sinuous Greek male dances that seem to be sculptured...
...combination of sophistication and passion in a pas de deux that was full of tantalizing hesitations but never without easy flow. In "Diamonds," Balanchine turned to the grand manner of classical ballet, spinning out variations that resembled traditional Russian dancing removed from the law of gravity. To the score of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 3, Suzanne Farrell, Jacques d'Amboise and the corps de ballet traced lines that, for all their airy lightness, had an austere purity and grandeur...
