...York founded Project Street Beat, a neighborhood organization that trolls the Bronx, visiting the places where teenage prostitutes gather. It offers free medical treatment and counseling, hands out sandwiches, clean clothes, "bleach kits" for sterilizing needles, and "dignity packs": Ziploc toilet kits containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb, soap, a towelette, condoms, tampons and sanitary napkins. Sometimes the workers drive the kids to a local McDonald's for a snack and a chance to talk...
...changed radically since Carson's day. "Low-impact camping" rules mean skipping the traditional campfire unless the fire pit is cleaned and the ashes buried. Opened food must be consumed on the spot. An informal "30-second rule" applies to spilled food: eat it fast. "Smellables" such as soap, toothpaste and tomorrow's rations, all of which can attract bears, are loaded into a burlap bag after dinner and strung over a 20-ft.-high cable.

The love scenes, although competently acted, are so flatly written that they lack emotional intensity, a defect that the lush, quasi-operatic score only partly makes up for. In the script's soap-opera view of life, sexual passion and jealousy drive even political revolutions. And there are echoes of the worst musical of the 1980s, the Shroud of Turin howler Into the Light, in the finale: red-and-gold-robed chorines try to explain the Asian religious concept of karma in lines seemingly lifted...
