...This scarcely matters. What matters is the erotic poetry in motion that uncoils whenever Verdon and her sister in crime Velma Kelly (Chita Rivera) do their solos and duets. They pace the show with spunk incarnate. The chorus is jazzily bacchanalian, and Patricia Zipprodt's eye-riveting costumes swirl right out of a decadent Brechtian Berlin. Chicago is a cinch to take a bite out of the Big Apple...
...stony hills and sere plains to support the area's population of wild donkeys, kangaroos and emus; only rock pythons, death adders and hoards of stinging insects seem to have adapted comfortably to the climatic extremes: winds that reach velocities of 140 m.p.h., dust storms that swirl out of the nearby Great Sandy Desert, noonday temperatures as high as 180° F.

(The masks he has worn for the past 14 years have absorbed 30 direct hits.) And he has none of the swagger that might...
...sustains and anchors this play is Bill's immaculate sense of profile. A work like Surface in Space Delimited by One Line might seem a routine exercise in topology but for two things: the fanatical beauty of its craftsmanship and the sureness with which that line executes its swirl in space...
