...curtain rises, audience members in the front section of the orchestra seats are immersed in pale blue light while characters race up the aisle before mounting the stage. Amidst the ensuing Christmas party and magic show, Dr. Drosselmeyer (Lazlo Bardo), the eccentric godfather of Clara, dominates the first scene. If his distinctive air and cute magic tricks fail to dazzle, then his huge velvet cape undoubtedly will. Whether twirling or flying off after Clara and her prince to the Enchanted Forest, this cape has a life of its own. The other most prominent character is, of course, Clara (Janine Ronayne...

For the show, the group will be playing with two guest saxophonists, Jon Natchez '99 and Adam Schneit...
...Secretary Andrew Cuomo. Normally, the release of a federal report on homelessness merits some polite yawns and space on page 17A. But bring it out amidst a Rudy Giuliani-Hillary Clinton fight on the issue that has everyone interested (even noted wonk Rosie O'Donnell has used her show as an anti-Rudy soapbox) and suddenly we're all very intrigued...
