...both random and diverse, including pieces such as the extremely slow and dangerously sexy "Be Careful" by R. Kelly and upbeat yet sensuous "It's All About Me" by MYA, a dancer turned singer starlet. Also included are Janet Jackson's "I Get Lonely" and Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige's "I Can Love You." The album ends with a trio of ballads including SWV's "Rain," Boyz II Men's "A Song for Mama," and Xscape's "The Arms of the One Who Loves You," whose soothing rhythmic flow shadows its clichd lyrics.

Caught between them, Annette Bening's tragic heroine suffers a kind of influenza of the soul--fevers and chills alternating while she tries to maintain her politesse in provincial society. This is risky work for a movie star, but Bening's understated tension is admirable, and so is Jon Robin Baitz's new adaptation, touching Ibsen's glum dramaturgy with rueful Chekovian absurdity. Daniel Sullivan's brisk production, running through mid-April at Los Angeles' Geffen Playhouse, is full of lively performances bobbing eccentrically along...
