Whereas Larson's show is sweet and cuddly, Urinetown is blunt and in your face. This Brechtian fable--a sellout hit in its tiny off-off-Broadway theater that is moving to Broadway in August--is set in a city where the water shortage is so dire that private toilets have been outlawed. The play overdoses a bit on winking self-references ("Everything in its time, little Sally," one character says to another. "Nothing can kill a show like too much exposition"), and the promise of sharp political satire is lost on the way to a generic cartoon...
Watching the brief clips of the Crimson legends weaving through opposing defenses in front of rabid sellout crowds was simply inspiring. Those waiting to see Michigan State's Ryan Miller become the second goaltender to win the award were confronted with just how dominant Harvard...
...Arrivée à New York," currently playing to sellout audiences at Paris' Gaité Montparnasse theater, is based on Céline's classic 1932 novel "Voyage au Bout de la Nuit."

That includes, most crucially, Campion and Hill in the leading--and only--roles. They play two locals working on the film as extras, as well as (a gimmick born...
...simulates Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous hallucinatory dream, the one that brought the world Kubla Khan. Donning a Plexiglas helmet and carrying an MP3 digital music player, visitors stumble along in deliberate disorientation beside Alph, the sacred river that leads to a stately pleasure dome. Creator Chris Hardman's sellout show is the hippest legal high on the West Coast...
