[ STARS ]  JERRY ZAKS: A MASTER OF COMEDY AND MUSICAL COMEDY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LIGHTS
by ELLIS NASSOUR

Smoke he must. But even multi-Tony and Drama Desk winning director Jerry Zaks abides by New York's strict smoking regulations. So it's not unusual to find the director on Theatre District sidewalks sending smoke rings into the strata. Though he has nothing to do with the revival of Wonderful Town, Zaks, who's represented on Broadway by the revival of Little Shop of Horrors, says that the musical holds a special place in his heart.

[ NYT ]  Weak at Box Office, 'Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks' Closes by JASON ZINOMAN
"I've been around the theater a long time," Mr. Seidelman said, "and I've never seen a climate as negative and destructive to new works as it is now."
"Six Dance Lessons" may have another life; the film rights have been sold to Universal. "The play will go on," Mr. Seidelman said.

[ V ]  B'way biz has ups, downs
Total receipts came to a record-setting $15,1 mil

Did anyone really expect "Bobbi Boland," "Laughing Room Only," "Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All" and "Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks" to make it past Thanksgiving, much less New Year's Day? They were orphans on paper, and their rapid demise says much about some producers' dream life but remarkably little about the theater's health.

This "Wonderful Town" is impossible to resist.

Among its other distinctions, the new revival of "Wonderful Town" reduces "Thoroughly Modern Millie," a musical that works from a similar premise, to a heap of tinsel.

[ ND ]  Wee Guys and Big Dolls in a Fun House by Gordon Cox
It sounds gimmicky, and maybe a little exploitative. "Mabou Mines DollHouse," an adaptation of Ibsen's "A Doll's House" from the experimental theater troupe Mabou Mines, has a cast that includes three women who are very tall and three men who are very, very short - as in, not much over 4 feet.
