...little of her enthusiasm. But she redeemed herself with her closing performance of "Sexual," introducing the number with a plug for fewer male chauvinistic songs. The women in the audience cheered her on as she cried out, "This is for the ladies... Ladies, are you feeling sexual? That's right, guys, check out your ladies...
Unfortunately, however, in both the first and second act the choices of Costume Director Liz Cullum '01--while interesting in their own right--indulge the play's inconsistency in a distracting way.
