...Antone, but performs only one number (you may have seen it on the Tony awards--it was the one with all the embarrassing bleeps). Whorehouse makes up for its adult language with gleeful immaturity, unabashedly the source of the play's success. Remember, this is the land of Lone Star beer and the Dallas Cowpeople--how can you get serious about...

The practitioners of these diverse sports are Caterina (Clayburgh), a recently widowed American opera star, and her androgynous 15-year-old son Joe (Matthew Barry).

Her 1931 film debut in Sally in Our Alley gave...
