As Leigh made prickly clear, he was in New York to talk about something else - his play, "Smelling a Rat," opening Sunday at the Samuel Beckett Theater.

Lost in the edit... Yesterday, I took to task The Public over SummerStage's plan to charge for tickets this year. What was lost in the distance between my brain and my fingers was that The Public started this trend with tickets to donars program in the past years. I have made the correction below, if you care to look. Summer Stage has no relationship, that I know of, with The Public Theater. Thank you to the reader who called us on this error on my part.

[ BH ] Hall is alive with the sound of Rodgers by Robert Nesti
The Boston Pops long have had a relationship with the music of Richard Rodgers, from premiering his songs in orchestral arrangements with Arthur Fiedler to the recent release of the Pops' album, ``My Favorite Things,'' directed by Keith Lockhart to celebrate the centenary of the composer's birth.

[ CST ] 'Calamity Meat' could use more seasoning BY HEDY WEISS
You've got to hand it to Coby Goss. The plot of his new play, "Calamity Meat," more or less rules out any chance that it will ever be optioned as a Disney film. That, alone, may make him a hero in some eyes. But more about that later.

[ NYP ] 'SOUND' LAUGHTER FOR 'LONG'-LOST COWARD By DONALD LYONS

[ DN ] A Newly Found Coward Satire Misfires by Howard Kissel
An essay in the program for Noel Coward's "Long Island Sound" explains how in 1937 Coward was shanghaied for what was billed as a "quiet" weekend on Long Island.
[ DN ] Generally Speaking, Historical Comedy Goes South By ROBERT DOMINGUEZ
A frenetic, unfunny and repetitive comedy based on the tumultuous last days of Ulysses S. Grant, John Guare's "A Few Stout Individuals" is like the disastrous Civil War battle that haunts its main character.

To John Guare - as to most of us - Ulysses S. Grant is basically remembered as "a drunken general and a semi-corrupt president," not to mention the punchline of that old Groucho quiz question, "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?"
[ B ] A Few Stout Individuals
Review by Adam Feldman
[ TB ] A Few Stout Individuals
Review by Matthew Murray
It's difficult to know just where to begin when discussing a play like John Guare's A Few Stout Individuals, which just opened at the Signature Theatre Company's Peter Norton Space. Funny? Captivating? One of the best plays to open on or off Broadway so far in 2002? All work, yet all are inadequate in describing this tremendously entertaining play.

[ CCT ] In tune with the times: Revivals face dilemma by PAT CRAIG
AS A COUNTRY, we tend to be mortified by parts of our own heritage.
This becomes brutally evident when theater of another era is revived and, much to the chagrin of all involved, holds a much more accurate mirror up to the society it reflected than the America of 2002 can endure comfortably.

[ YN ] Variety: Spoof Musical 'Dames' Out to Sea by Markland Taylor
With "42nd Street" back on Broadway and "Thoroughly Modern Millie," a spoof tuner along similar lines, also setting up shop on the street, it seems an apt moment to take another look at the campy 1968 Off Broadway mini-musical "Dames at Sea," itself an affectionate spoof of '30s movie musicals. But maybe because it's no longer spoofing or tapping alone, and also thanks to an overblown Goodspeed Musicals production, "Dames at Sea" has lost some of its original postage-stamp charm.
