Setting 'Call of the Wild' To Song Is a Real Howler By Nelson Pressley

How do you turn Jack London's "Call of the Wild" into a musical without making it the canine equivalent of "Cats"? In a premiere at the Olney Theatre Center, the unsatisfying answer is to turn it into a Brechtian epic, with unsavory saloon characters delivering the audience a lesson we had better learn -- or else.
