...little more about it, partly because friend Zoglin, the magazine's theater critic, will weigh in with his words in the issue out Monday; partly because I can't find my notes and the Chaperone publicists said they don't have a script for me to consult. Just one thing: it's odd to evoke the memory of old musicals whose books were inane but whose songs were classics in a new musical whose book is stuffy but whose songs are ordinary. They're knowing pastiche, like the ones in The Producers and its progeny, but not, it's fair...

For the show, the first-ever student production at the school, organizers wanted to choose a script that was still relevant in today’s political climate. “The Forum is a great space used for ideas and political controversies and we thought, what a great space to have ‘Inherit the Wind’ here,” says director Edward...
...28As many have said, the title says it all. Internet blogging has been so huge for this film that producer C. Stokeley Chaffin ’92 insisted on changing aspects of the film to please fans. Samuel L. Jackson signed on for the film without even reading the script because the title got him hooked. This is the quintessential campy flick that has college students across America, including Harvard, going berserk. Jared S. Gruszecki changed everything on his profile to reference this movie. Alex N. D’Amour ’08 thinks it looks like...
