...likes to say. His common speech owes something to Huntz Hall and Leo Gorcey, though he can shift from "dese" and "dose" to a surprising eloquence. He sways behind the center like a royal palm, but it is a greater wonder how he can swagger sitting down and strut standing still. A compact passing release is characteristic of his general economy of movement and thought. "Most quarterbacks have that high- arm action," Shula demonstrates, "but everything he does is down in here," motioning about shoulder level, "a terrific torque, that tremendous explosion...

...great duel scene, is easily the best, and the Joffrey performs it with sweep and charging bravura. Elsewhere there are difficulties, some of which should disappear as the company settles into the work. Right now the dancers have absurd ideas of rich life in the Renaissance.

Watch right-side Edwina take control in a courtroom, as left-side Roger falls asleep and the ever-so-feminine Edwina moves "their" body in a grotesquely macho strut. The actor's challenge is impossibly complicated−Steve Martin playing Lily Tomlin playing Roger Cobb−and beautifully realized. The rest of All of Me is no tour de farce; some jokes are missing, others misfire, and the visual style is deadpan and pedestrian. But Tomlin gets laughs...

...ditty on the virtues of self-reliance whose 16 lines begin with the letters M-A-R-G-A-R-E-T THATCHER. But if the show has an angry bark, it is also frisky as a puppy. Nicholas and his co-stars (all veterans of the Cats cast) strut engagingly through the handsome sets. Stephen Oliver's score drapes cleverly oratorical orchestrations on his plain songs, and the whole thing moves with the brash dash of an undergraduate jape...
