Malfitano and Holloway may not have mastered French singing style, but they have strong, well trained voices capable of bringing down the house, Broadway-style...

Richard Shapiro's adaptation is terribly tasteful and tastefully terrible; it reiterates themes ad nauseam, while denying the characters any emotional room in which to maneuver. Director Harvey Hart has allowed his cast to display some of the most ludicrously solemn overacting since Exorcist II: The Heretic...
