This gripe aside, let the individuals whose skills kept the listeners tapping their feet receive their due. The eight women in the cast generally asserted their characters better than the men--it was easier to remember them from one number to the next. But, merged into a company, as at the beginning and end of the show, it was the performers' collective energy and not their individuality that shone. Der Manuelian made "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing" both the opening and closing number. It served well--the chorus has an unforgettable tune...
THERE COULDN'T BE a better time of year to see this show. Winter is clearly an idea whose time has passed, but spring is still just an empty dream that evaporates when a 40 degree day is succeeded by an ice storm. And for those confined to house arrest in Cambridge, this is the time that sends one fleeing--to escape in some nostalgic remembrance of high school or the promise of some real world release, somewhere down the road...

Rody, whose voice weakens throughout the evening and who is burdened with fairly boring lines to start with, is not helped by her bland soulfulness...

They fear that more of these students whom Harvard accepts will decide to go elsewhere, threatening the diversity of future College classes. Fund drive planners hope their efforts will keep enough aid money available for these students, while admissions and financial aid officers continue heavily publicizing Harvard's aid and loan programs...
