Sammy Davis Jr., who last season turned his here-come-de-Judge antics into a rollicking miniballet, now reports that when he strolls through a Negro neighborhood, all the kids trail after him squealing the phrase in chorus. It would be only moderately surprising if next week J. Edgar Hoover popped onto the screen and said, "Here come de Judge...
...positively leap on stage with a hoot and a "Down with Jerry Herman!" sign, Burt Bacharach and Hal David nevertheless make a wicked entrance in the proceedings now on display at the Colonial.

"I love to hear an audience applaud, but you can't take an audience home with you." "I can't go-not like this." As Nick Arnstein, Fanny's hard-luck gambler husband, Omar Sharif, of all people, is only required to stand and listen with large liquid eyes. The rest of the cast...
