...style British "Panto," a comical take on the fairy tale "Cinderella"; a traditional "St. George and the Dragon" mummers play; lots of familiar carols and rounds, including the ceremonial "Boar's Head Carol" from Oxford; Susan Cooper's classic solstice poem "The Shortest Day" and a spectacular rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" you'll never forget. And, as always, Revels audiences are kept busy, singing carols with the cast and at the end of Act I, dancing out of the theater, hand-in-hand, into the grand lobby of Memorial Hall for Revels' signature piece, "Lord...
Congratulations on your superb report on the giants who laid the foundation for America's spectacular growth. But there was a major oversight: Henry J. Kaiser, road builder; steel, aluminum and magnesium producer; creator of jobs running into the millions; and finally, but not least, founder of Kaiser Permanente, America's largest and most successful health-care program.

...unhappily caught up in the whirlwind of God. The modern search for Moses is like a climb up Mount Sinai. It is a bracing ascent over starkly arid terrain, the ancient volcanic rock giving way to deep chasms, full of darkness and danger.

...areas as calligraphy, the "way" of tea and the artifacts that were tied into it, ceremonial dress, and brush painting linked to the imported cult of Zen Buddhism. Some of the most memorable samurai objects in this show could not have had much military use; they are kawari kabuto, spectacular parade helmets--the ancestors of Darth Vader's mask--worn to impress the living daylights out of commoners. The variety of shapes the helmets came in was mind-boggling. Some of them referred to family crests, but many seem to be sheer fantasy in the form of carps' tails, clamshells...
...dancing! Such fare is rarely seen on a Harvard stage, and is almost never pulled off with this much energy and ingenuity. It's almost impossible to believe that Guys and Dolls is the first production that Jim Augustine '01 (who, incidentally, played Roy Cohn in last year's spectacular Angels in America) has ever choreographed. As mentioned earlier, the "Hot Box" numbers bring campiness to delightful new heights; in addition, "The Crapshooters' Dance" stuns and enchants with the intensity and intricacy of the moves. Choreographing a well-loved musical is tricky; one wants to create original dances that have...
