...Maryann Zschau easily navigates the vocal difficulties posed by Sondheim’s compositions, especially shining in the titular rapid-fire opening number. If her acting is not ideally nuanced, she never strikes a false note, and her powerful voice and lush tones are a delight. She is even better in act two as Marie, the aged grandmother of the 20th century George, who serenely mesmerizes with “Children and Art,” a simple, almost lullaby-like song, that discusses the only worthwhile things for a person to leave behind...
...fact that a hero who is broadly sketched and less than intelligent is less than engaging, a shlumpy George also doesn’t fit with a character whose artistic style is deliberate, methodical and purposefully experimental—and whose comments are frequently barbed and condescending. Like Zschau, Chew also improves in the second act. While he remains more insecure and less in command of the stage and his world than appropriate, he closes the show with his strongest acting and singing of the evening...
Lamm, unlike his rival, has managed to lasso a running mate: former two-term G.O.P. Congressman from Silicon Valley and high-tech executive Ed Zschau. Zschau (rhymes with wow), a Stanford-trained physicist who started his own computer business before entering Congress, has said Lamm's campaign should be "inspired chaos."

...carrying a $2 million debt from his 1984 presidential bid, solicited $200,000 from Keating for a political committee he controlled. Cranston ! solicited $850,000 from Keating in 1987 and 1988 for voter-registration drives. In Cranston's tight 1986 Senate race against former Republican Congressman Ed Zschau, Keating gave the California Democratic Party $85,000. Of the need for campaign money, Cranston says, "I have tried to change that situation but have been unsuccessful." Incumbents, however, don't try as hard as they might, since the high cost of elections and the ability to raise money from the likes...
...hair, which he dyed an orange shade of red five years ago to update his haggard look for a brief run for the presidency. For a while it looked as if Cranston might lose his seat in 1986, but that will take someone a lot duller than challenger Ed Zschau, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who believes in memory chips and the Pacific...
