...Next Wave Producers Council, young urban professionals who had never gone near Lincoln Center flocked across the Brooklyn Bridge, and a BAM ticket became the scarcest in town. The first Next Wave Festival in 1983 featured Director Lee Breuer and Composer Bob Telson's dazzling wedding of Sophocles and soul, The Gospel at Colonus, which was later televised on PBS. The next year saw a triumphant reprise of Einstein, while last season brought Wilson's incandescent play The Golden Windows. It also brought forth a full-fledged disaster in The Birth of the Poet, a misbegotten collaboration among Punk Novelist...

In the urban jungle of Manhattan he is as flummoxed as King Kong -- wary of escalators, bidets and soul-man handshakes -- but eager to buck the odds. It is The Gods Must Be Crazy in whiteface, and ingratiating enough to make Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) a man for all box offices. After topping E.T.'s record take in Australia, this shambling comedy (directed by Peter Faiman) filched $8 million...
