  3. Walk, don't run to 'The All Night Strut!'

    "The All Night Strut!" is really more of a stroll. The revue of 1930s and 1940s standards playing through April 29 at Stage Door Theatre in Coral Springs just doesn't have the gait of a strut. At times, it even slows down to a promenade.

  11. 'Sweet Charity'

    Since first produced more than 40 years ago, &quot;Sweet Charity" has undergone an unfortunate metamorphosis from the sweetly sentimental to the downright treacly. Granted, Cy Coleman's music and Dorothy Fields' lyrics combine in some memorable standards ("If They Could See Me Now," "Big Spender") and certainly one can imagine the sheer excitement generated when Bob Fosse's original Tony-winning choreography was first performed. But Neil Simon's book, although recently tweaked for the 2005 Broadway revival, has sprouted mold atop the syrup.
