...Berkeley effect in "42nd Street." This show, a revival of Gower Champion?s 1980 reworking of the 1933 movie, is hardly one that I was clamoring to see back on Broadway. Yet it packs in so much precision tap-dancing, lavishly appointed production numbers, talented performers and delightful Harry Warren-Al Dubin songs (including three that weren't in the 1980 show) that you'd have to be a real grump to complain.

A relentlessly self-pitying and selfish child, his Bly garners little sympathy; one gets the feeling the audience roots for him only out of a sense of obligation. Warren is marginally better in a potentially interesting role that dwindles to almost nothing by the end of the film. Cristian de la Fuente, Gina Gershon, Stacy Edwards and Robert Sean Leonard are given thankless roles that are nothing but foils for the main characters...
