Versatility

The characters have become
like old friends, old friends who
never change; Nathan Detroit is still
trying to find a place to hold his
crap game, Adelaide still has her
psychosomatic cold, Sergeant Sarah
is still trying to make sinners
reform, and Sky Masterson is still
trying to make Sergeant Sarah.

Patrick Stoner plays Nathan,
and again he demonstrates his
versatility in being to play any type
of character and play it well. I wish
some of his versatility would rub
off on his wife, Joyce, who has
been restricted to "dumb broad"
roles recently, but who is splendid
nonetheless as Adelaide.
