...Crosby and Perry Como ("Perry Coma" in Harvey Kurtzman's Humbug parody of America's most popular TV star of the mid-50s) just stood around and smiled. Elvis, in the instrumental interludes between his singing, simply did what countless showbiz troupers had done on music-hall, vaudeville and Broadway stages: danced. His gyrations weren't exactly the old soft-shoe. But it was a dance: St. Vitus...
...Square: It's been cleaned up and Disney-fied, but even Giuliani couldn't expunge every last bit of sex from this stretch of neon and noise. Wander off the beaten path to find an endless array of peep shows, provided by the city's finest out-of-work Broadway dancers. Such a deal!

Joey, at the make-or-break moment of his ballet career, wins a prestigious grant to study Balinese dance and leaves Manhattan...
...business by expanding into youth-targeted productions like Def Poetry Jam and a La Boheme from Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann. But it also repeatedly reached back to baby-boomer-and-beyond icons (nostalgic, perhaps, for a time when you could get people to see an original Broadway show). It revived Oklahoma! and Into the Woods and Flower Drum Song. It adapted movies: Hairspray (John Waters' movie about early-'60s Baltimore), The Graduate, Marty, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? It even got choreographer Twyla Tharp, for Movin' Out, to become the first person to hold the phrases Billy Joel...
