Alone of the trio, Ravenhill admits to a certain amount of book learning (he holds a drama degree and has spent his albeit brief professional life working in literary offices of small theater companies, nurturing emerging young playwrights like himself) and is the only one who seems to be working consciously within a particular form. His Shopping and F______ belongs to the subgenre of so-called smack-and-sodomy plays, in which drug use is rampant and sex is graphic, brutish and usually anal. We are in Trainspotting territory here. The pseudo-family of down-and-out drug-users...
...Fugees has just released a solo album, The Carnival, and fortunately he fits the first scenario. The Fugees reached the top of the charts by mixing reggae, rap and positive messages. Wyclef, as he is known, has not broken with his bandmates, Prakazrel ("Pras") Michel and Lauryn Hill--the trio are already planning their next record together. But The Carnival is a fine showcase for Wyclef's particular talents and wide-ranging tastes...

In tracing the money and telephone connections of Huang's fund-raising world, Thompson's investigators want to know: Was he a spy for China in the guise of a Democratic moneyman? Did he funnel money from Overseas Chinese-led companies...
Composer Alan Menken, on vacation after the operatic Hunchback score, hasn't delved this deeply into pop pastiche since his 1982 off-Broadway hit, Little Shop of Horrors. The quintet of Muses, like Little Shop's black-thrush trio, tells the story, doing justice to the jaunty R.-and-B. inflections ("and then along came Zeus") of David Zippel's serviceable lyrics. The ballad Go the Distance, as pummeled by Michael Bolton, is the tune you'll hear coming from every radio, music store and elevator this summer...
