...Putting together a trunk show of hits from a composer or group is a matter of choosing from among three options: a pastiche of tunes (as in Smokey Joe's Cafe from the Mike Leiber-Jerry Stoller songbook, the Billy Joel Movin' Out or Swingin' On a Star from lyricist Jimmy McHugh); a new book that finds slots for the songs (as in the ABBA Mamma Mia!, the Elvis All Shook Up or the Gershwin's My One and Only and Crazy for You); or a bio-musical of the artist (the Buddy Holly tribute Buddy or Hank Williams...
...Played by Brendan Gleeson with a swagger and spume not seen since Robert Newton?s Long John Silver (another charming dastard), Mad-Eye has a globular left orb that stares skeptically, maniacally, at all it surveys. He seems both amiable and deranged, as when he gestures to a steamer trunk whose contents are frantically rattling and says, ?I won?t even tell you what?s in there.? (We?ll find out later...

...models began streaming out. The crowd became visibly excited when certain pieces emerged, such as the signature dress with flower petals on the straps. But for the most part they behaved politely, only murmuring to friends behind cupped palms. An upbeat techno playlist, which Remele later reprised at his trunk show, obscured their infrequent chatter.
