Ribboning "snake runs" slither around steel-pipe rails and abrupt concrete boxes. If it all seems like a dreamscape, that's because it is. This is the kind of place that skateboarders dream about. Steve Lenardo, 32, a physical-education teacher who also co-owns the local skate shop, comes down here a lot with his board. "It keeps my blood flowing," he says.

...festoons John Lee Beatty's balconied set with streamers, packs the stage with sight gags and sex appeal - 10 gals in bathing suits, courted by boys with press cards in their hat bands. The cast and orchestra, under the vigorous baton of Paul Gemignani, rise to the material, then skate on it. Garber does justice to one of the all-time rousing musical-comedy lines, "Did you say corn muffins?" (Mary had won his heart by revealing she makes the best corn muffins.
