Perhaps the most impressive facet of the show, aside from its general high spirits, is the superlative choreography of Bob Fosse. Particularly impressive are the routines "Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo." and "Who's Got the Pain?" The lyrics and music are gay and spritely, never flat and sometimes very winning. "You Gotta Have Heart" and "Two Lost Souls" are the most appealing products of Messrs. Adler and Ross's song-smithing. The singing is generally good and Gary Cockell, Howard Krieger, and Roger Franklin's raucous rendition of "You Gotta Have Heart" brings down the house...
...coast. Rene Gagnon and John Bradley took it in stride, but Ira Hayes, a shy and bewildered Pima Indian, found the hero's role hard to play. Increasingly, he sought escape in drinking, drifted from job to job. Fifteen months ago he was picked up in Chicago, shoeless, shaking and incoherent, and jailed for drunkenness. In 13 years he was arrested 51 times for being drunk; efforts of friends, doctors, clergymen and Alcoholics Anonymous could do nothing to help...

Barred spectators, shivering in a cold rain, tried to follow events with binoculars from distant trees, but caught only glimpses of the sniffly athletes as they jounced and bounced through shoeless track and field contests. The peekers noted that even bathing caps were ruled out of the 50-yd. breaststroke event. But until President Fankhauser saw fit to announce the results, no treetop spectator could know who had won what. Not even programs would help, because it was difficult to tell one unnumbered performer from another...
