...international tour projected to follow. Staged and choreographed by veteran performer Lee Roy Reams under the supervision of composer Jerry Herman, the show has all the snap and style one remembers from Gower Champion's original production, which won a record 10 Tony Awards (Channing beat out Barbra Streisand's performance in Funny Girl). Exceptfor its confused and too hasty resolution, Michael Stewart's book -- about a meddlesome, matchmaking widow -- craftily melds song and dance. Corny? Sure, but also funny, and these days that's a rarity. Most important, Herman's infectious, toe-tapping score remains among the most melodious...
...piano," she says, "and Dad, who was a minister, played the guitar. I started singing with them and my older sister when I was five -- songs by Peter, Paul and Mary and other folk stuff."

But only a few can afford to pay what it takes -- as much as $1,000 to obtain a ticket with a face value of $350 for a seat down front at arenas like Anaheim Pond and Madison Square Garden. When the New York Rangers, who haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1940, looked like they would finally do it on home ice last Thursday night, scalpers outside the Garden on game night were asking as much...
When it comes to getting tickets for the hottest entertainment and sports events, it's money that counts. Big money. And as the most star-studded summer concert season in years gets under way -- with such performers as Streisand, Billy Joel and Elton John, the Rolling Stones, and the 30 top bands that will appear at Woodstock II -- a "holy war" over outrageous ticket prices has broken out, forcing the music industry to choose up sides. Last month Pearl Jam, the popular alternative-rock band from Seattle, called down the wrath of the U.S. Department of Justice against Ticketmaster...
