...terrific concert productions: one modest, one large, both grand. The 1968 Darling of the Day had a lovely score, but this adaptation of Arnold Bennett's novel Buried Alive practically was: it closed after just 31 performances. The Musicals in Mufti revival in April captured the show's wit and plaintive warmth, wreathing the audience in nonstop smiles. I also loved the Actors' Fund production of It's a Wonderful Life, a musical of the Frank Capra movie. First staged in 1986, the show never got to Broadway, until last week, with a luminous cast led by Brian Stokes Mitchell...

This selection of 10 films spawned at the institute or launched at its festival provides a corrective of sorts, showing that the range is wide and imposing.

...movie flirts with alien abductions, crop circles, Streisand jokes and familial reconciliation. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which extends Park?s Oscar-winning stop-motion short films to feature length, is about a creature that terrorizes townsfolk by eating their prize vegetables. With their usual precision and fey wit, Park and his Aardman colleagues have created a horror-romance that owes as much to Jane Austen's social comedies as to the Hammer monster movies of yore. In Millions, a sack of stolen money falls on 7-year-old Damian (adorable Alex Etel), and he thinks...
