Tony Kushner's very serious, semi-autobiographical musical, about a black maid and the white Louisiana family she works for in 1963, doesn't connect emotionally as it should. Still, he and composer Jeanine Tesori have created an innovative piece that must be seen by anyone interested in new directions for the musical.
Epic times call for epic art, and nothing moved us more than The Return of the King. Other things we loved: Louis Vuitton, William Boyd and BBC's The Office And to the Atlanta group OutKast, we say "Stank you very much!"
