...Chillout Tent” is the catchiest tune of the bunch, which is rather ironic considering that it is about drug overdoses. Yet the high-pitched female vocals, background piano, and the lyrics about young love—albeit in an illegal-substance-induced, together-in-the-hospital sort of way—disguise the stranger side of the love ’em and leave ’em experience...

But it's just the ice cream sundae at the end of Marvin Hamlisch's rich banquet of a score, with its equal helpings of Tin Pan Alley schmaltz and modernist invention. Sure, it's too soon for a Chorus Line revival. But it's also too soon to dismiss this show with mere nostalgia...
