ABSTRACT
This reputedly problematic piece, staged by Walter Bobbie and starring Ann Reinking, Bebe Neuwirth, James Naughton, and Joel Grey, proved to be one of the more exciting events of the 1995-96 theater season. The jaunty dances (choreographed by Ms. Reinking in the style of Fosse) and catchy songs, riding on a darkly sardonic plot of adultery, murder, and legal chicanery, elicited the kind of enthusiastic response that is rare in theater audiences these days.
