Bogart’s vision of animalized humans is brought to life onstage. Eglé and Adine, La Dispute’s two female characters, hold an impromptu beauty contest that leads to an opera sing-off and gymnastics competition before the two women degenerate into throwing balls at each other like two stags competing for a mate...
...discerning crowd currently likes the American Idol format, which spends several months publicly culling the herd to about 10 finalists and then launches a series of up-close-and-personal, sudden-death sing-offs. This is the brainchild of three Simons--Fuller came up with the concept, but it was fine-tuned with the help of Simon Cowell, a music-industry executive (and the acerbic judge in the U.S. and British versions) and Simon Jones, head of FMusic TV, part of FremantleMedia, the company that jointly owns and produces the Idol format globally.

"I must help the Jews in Israel," he croons, as the clubbers sway and sing, "for there are pogroms in Russia." Those were the days...
...potential revival of the Hollywood musical is upon us with Chicago—for better or worse. Ignoring its politicized ramifications as a genre revival, Chicago on its own is a pretty wild ride, showcasing once and for all that the new school of glitzy film stars can sing better than Jennifer Lopez. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger, and especially John C. Reilly are surprisingly watchable in this furiously edited, expensive adaptation of the murderous Broadway classic. Die-hard Bob Fosse fans may leave screaming in disgust, but fortunately for the rest of us director Rob Marshall knows the difference...
