However, I'll continue to sound off here with my take on Live and Onscreen Entertainment. As for Curtainup's extensive content since 1996-- it's all sill available at www.curtainup.com

High expectatons not met by this musicalized movie


Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
- The problem with this film to musical stage adaptation can be summed up in a single word: onkepatchket, a Yiddishism for too busy and overly decorated costume and home decor. While Catherine Zuber's costumes and Michael Yeargan's set capture Pedro Aldomar/s zany spirit, this production overall is indeed too onkepatchket. . . .
