Review: 'The Glorious Ones' at Newhouse Theater BY LINDA WINER
"The Glorious Ones," inspired by Francine Prose's 1974 novel, turns out to be an overextended but pithy little valentine to the twilight of improvisation - the moment before those tyrannical playwrights took center stage. The songs may have a debt to "Into the Woods" and "Cabaret," but the overall effect is goofy and sweet.
