...movies of her father Vincente, director of such classic Hollywood musicals as Meet Me in St. Louis, An American in Paris and Gigi. In it she reminisces a bit, shows pictures from the family album, sings numbers identified with her mother that she would never touch before (like The Trolley Song from Meet Me in St. Louis) and demonstrates that her voice, if not the exuberant, no-holds-barred instrument it once was, can still curl stylishly around numbers like I Got Rhythm and Baubles, Bangles and Beads.

The music and lyrics, by Jason Robert Brown, catch fire only in a couple of disposable up-tempo numbers (Mary Phagan getting wooed by a suitor on the trolley) and turn gooey in big ballads like All the Wasted Time, sung by Lucille and Leo in jail. Prince's staging is elegant but rather quiet, the set dominated by a giant oak tree from which Leo will eventually hang. No one wants a glitzed-up tragedy, but when...
