...famous ship whirls and leaps in a comic dance, with several planned encores. The dancing is excellent, but at times choreographer Ruth Perrenod and director Lindsay Davis push a little too hard. While Ralph Rackstraw (Thomas Fuller) sings his love Madrigal a member of the chorus and a ballerina waft about the deck of the ship. The scene is syrupy enough without this heavy-handed instruction to the audience, "See, this is really just in fun." The ballerina, Lois Rosenberg returns as a sprightly youngest cousin to the Lord Admiral. She has a talent for mime, and is a pleasant...
...operating room, two dental clinics and a pharmacy. He also provided a new name: the Esperanto (Portuguese for hope).

...Mike wound up a brief series of East Coast appearances designed to introduce them to their growing audience in the U.S. Festooned with colorful rugs and cluttered with instruments, the stages on which they appeared had the aura of gypsy encampments. That aura was heightened by an occasional waft of incense and by the presence of two girls known as Licorice and Rose (real names: Caroline McKechnie and Rose Simpson), who live, travel and perform with the band. Resplendent in beads, braid, silks and velvet, Robin and Mike wandered about, sipped tea, and spent interminable intervals tuning up. But once...
