...foreword to the published script of The Rainmaker, playwright N. Richard Nash advises, "It must never be forgotten that it is a romance, never for an instant by the director, the actors, the scenic designer or the least-sung usher in the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia." I can't vouch for the ushers at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in New York City, who are no less surly than usual, but mostly this Broadway revival gets into the right spirit. The set, a swath of brown prairie dominated by an expanse of blue sky, seems ready at any moment to disgorge...
...based on the story of Jason and the golden fleece. Cupid and Fate are having a quarrel about which one most controls mens' lives, and they cause amorous chaos among the mortals. Giasone, Aegeus, Medea, Hypsipyle and their servants mill about in confusion and slapstick till at last, all sung out and snugly paired off they come to a happy closing...

Don't look for the cogent introspection of Only a Dream; here she has chosen songs brassy enough to be sung at the Super Bowl (Down at the Twist and Shout) or on Letterman (Can't Take Love for Granted). They sound great, as do two new anthems about the singer's favorite people: women who run risks, pay for them, keep on running. And at the head of the pack, still not breathing hard, there's Chapin...
...Rosie O'Donnell Show and Late Show with David Letterman. Her summer schedule includes pledge-drive appearances on public-TV stations across the country and a June 14 benefit performance at Ford's Theatre in Washington that President Clinton was expected to attend (she has already sung for the Pope). Her dream, she says, is to sing Madama Butterfly at La Scala, and she's just about the right age for it. Puccini's doomed heroine was 15 years old; Church...
