...career of the leading lady Dorothy Brock (Lindsey Larson) fades. “42nd Street” is one of the great, enduring musicals, but restaging such a successful production requires immense talent from both the cast and creative staff. The cast members need to pull off the triple threat of acting, singing, and dancing, while the creative team must produce the spectacle of a classic 1930s musical without letting it seem dated. In this production, both cast and creative excel at their respective tasks. In a show where dance is the real star, the choreography must be seamless...
...Despite their small size, lack of public support and relative invisibility over the past 10 years, there has been an upsurge in dissident activity in recent months.

"Everyone is focused on winning," said Republican strategist Scott Jennings of Louisville, a member of the state party's executive committee and a former Bush White House aide.

Less than 24 hours later, the head of Northern Ireland's police force revealed that the threat of a terrorist attack currently stands at its highest level in seven years. But that's not why Kennedy's gong has proved controversial. During the 30 years of the Troubles and in the centuries that proceeded this dark period of history and even since some kind of stability has been achieved in the region, the status and politics of Northern Ireland have always been capable of dividing neighbors and friends, much less politicians.
