...Ives made a pretty, witty something of the script. Director Gary Griffin made it sing, sumptuously; Russell Warner touched up the orchestrations to these just-short-of-classic Gershwin songs; and Rob Ashford staged some sublimely silly choreography. (My notes read, "six dancing couples form a giant pretzel," but I may have been hallucinating.) In a nifty cast, I especially liked Felicia Finley, who played Magda the saucy parlormaid. Finley has looks, a voice and that ageless soubrette pertness - the total musical comedy package. But then, that's what you almost always get at Encores...

Pentagon spokesman Larry Dirita insisted, "If there is some shortfall in what was provided, it was an oversight." Committee staff members haven't actually counted the pages. Chairman John Warner will investigate this week to see what is missing...
...Despite its combination of beauty and talent, the band didn't prove a hit with Chinese audiences. Their luck changed only after Kazuma Tomoto, a Warner Music executive in Tokyo, saw a 12 Girls Band concert video and decided to import them to Japan. "I'd been thinking that Japan needed a new, energetic sound to jolt it out of its funk," says Tomoto. "The second I saw them, I knew they were going to be huge." His bosses weren't convinced, so Tomoto quit his job and started his own music label. It paid off: Tomoto's Platia Entertainment...
