...matinee audience for Bus Stop at the Lakewood, Me., summer theater consisted mostly of thick-thighed teenagers with braces on their teeth. For the first 20 minutes of the play they sat clutching each other, ecstatic with anticipation. Then the star of the show loped onstage, wearing skintight jeans and a white sombrero.

The other half turned on the past, with tight little jackets and dresses Susan B. Anthony would have been the first to vote for. Showstoppers: a series of sweeping Byronic capes and a black-sequined evening gown that undulates like a Japanese lantern in a gentle wind...
