He's on the ropes," said Beverly Greene, 42, who gathered with friends to watch Lott on BET Some said the embattled senator's latest apologies Monday did not sound heartfelt, and that he should not become Senate majority leader in the next Congress " In the 30-minute BET interview, Lott said he had made a "terrible mistake, used horrible words 6 to decide whether Lott's leadership of their majority could be too much of a liability to their agenda in Congress and to President Bush's re-election bet Movie director Spike Lee called on prominent blacks in the administration, including Secetary of State Colin Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice to speak out 5 comment during a toast for Sen "Besides the lip service to certain types of things, he didn't go the extra distance," said McKnight, 40 "He talked about developing a plan," said Crutchfield, 61 " Some conservatives, including members of Project 21, a leadership network for conservative blacks, also have said Lott should be removed from his leadership position " Greene and other blacks said they were skeptical " But, he said, "it is about actions more than words "He said what he felt like he was supposed to say Some Blacks Skeptical of Lott's Apology Dec 17, 11:09 AM EST Some blacks who watched Senate Republican leader Trent Lott apologize on Black Entertainment Television about remarks perceived as racially insensitive said they found his remorse unconvincing "It didn't feel like to me he was going to make a wholesale change to his life and begin to embrace all people " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Black Entertainment Television: http://www " The Senate GOP is set to meet Jan com/bethome Jesse Jackson and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People President Kweisi Mfume have both demanded that Lott step down "I certainly accept his apology, but I don't believe he's changed As majority leader I can move an agenda that would hopefully be helpful to African-Americans and minorities of all kinds and all Americans "Going to let some guy say something like that and you're not going to say a word?" Lee said Tuesday on ABC News "Good Morning America "I'm not sure from his record that anything at this point would have been good enough," said Tsan Abrahamson, 39, a lawyer who watched the interview with Greene A furor erupted over Lott's Dec " Justin Glenn, a 24-year-old University of San Francisco law student, said the firestorm that has erupted over Lott's remarks should "make the Republican party take a serious look at the individuals they choose to represent them " Retired adult education consultant Juliet Crutchfield agreed Utz McKnight, a visiting African American studies professor at the University of California at Berkeley, said Lott should have given BET viewers more specifics about what he has done and will do to benefit blacks " "They are prominent African-Americans and they haven't said peep Strom Thurmond in which he said the nation might have been better off if then pro-segregationist Thurmond had been elected president when he ran in 1948 "He didn't ever describe what the plan would be Civil rights leaders including the Rev "He did not commit himself And there is fine support from Kate Reinders as the older June, Addison Timlin as Baby Louise and, particularly, a hilarious Heather Tepe as Baby June, the most terrifying child star ever to play vaudeville There's a steely quality here that Peters gets with icy accuracy, a single-mindedness that really defines who Rose is But "Gypsy" is also about another formidable, if late-blooming, woman: Louise, the young girl who will grow up to become stripper Gypsy Rose Lee Revival of 'Gypsy' Opens on Broadway May 1, 8:09 PM EST Broadway musicals don't get much better than "Gypsy Mendes underlines another important theme of the musical â€â€? a nostalgia for a show-biz world that has long disappeared, a world of vaudeville, seedy burlesque houses, intrepid performers and dilapidated hotel rooms where the actors stayed " These days, the only questions are how can any revival negotiate the show's superb score and emotion-packed story, not to mention cast the gargantuan leading role of Rose, the theater's ultimate stage mother At the center of this creation is Rose, the obsessive mother of two little girls she is determined to push into the slowly dying world of vaudeville Peters, sporting a modest, marcel hairdo, bee-stung lips and clingy dresses, is equally determined but in a quiet, more subtle way Very well, indeed, judging from the latest production, which opened Thursday at the Shubert Theatre Peters is a theater star, but not one you would automatically associate with Rose Her Rose is slyly sexual, especially when it will get her what she wants Directed by Sam Mendes and starring a surprising Bernadette Peters, it reconfirms the musical's classic status and its appeal as good, old-fashioned entertainment And her relationship with Herbie, the goodhearted candy salesman turned agent, suggests genuine heat From the first four notes of the overture â€â€? which lyrically spell out the theme of the show ("I had a dream") â€â€? to the evening's blazing finale of "Rose's Turn," "Gypsy" never lets up "Gypsy" is very much about drive â€â€? and that rhythmic energy is present in Jule Styne's pulsating music, Stephen Sondheim's punchy, rat-tat-tat lyrics and Arthur Laurents' tough, muscular book that strikes the right balance between high drama and low comedy Jerry Mitchell has had the difficult task of supplying new dances for much of show, although some of Jerome Robbins' original choreography has been retained, particularly in "All I Need Is the Girl," danced with grace by David Burtka After Heather Lee, Kate Buddeke and Julie Halston are finished with the song, the place is pretty much up for grabs The actress pushes a bit in the show's more dramatic scenes, but she knows how to sing the score There is the deliberate attempt to make you aware that you are in a theater, experiencing something that could only happen on stage To play this considerable creature, you need a performer capable of taking center stage and holding it against all odds You can see stagehands changing sets, moving props, rolling up backdrops and more Just as important, Peters knows how to use the musical's silences Watch her at two crucial points in the show: first, as she reads a letter from daughter June, announcing she has run out on their faltering vaudeville act; second, when Rose realizes she has a chance to push her gawky daughter, Louise, into a star spot, even though it is in a second-rate burlesque house in Kansas Her voice doesn't have the iron-lunged quality of a Merman, but it can more than handle the musical roars of defiance â€â€? "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and "Rose's Turn" â€â€? that end each of the show's two acts Mendes, along with his star and the rest of the cast, make that experience quite a celebration And neither does Mendes' production Rose's dreams propel the evening, no matter if they end up nearly destroying herself and those around her Yet, "Gypsy" is about more than Rose and her daughters John Dossett is a most generous, low-key Herbie, a terrific foil for Peters' insistent seductiveness Mendes has been particularly savvy in his casting Several of her Broadway predecessors, such as Ethel Merman and Tyne Daly, barreled their way through the role on a wave of lung power and a blast of brass And, of course, there's "You Gotta Get a Gimmick," a raucous number for three over-the-hill strippers that epitomizes what a Broadway show-stopper is all about His production embraces all things theatrical And Tammy Blanchard pulls off the transformation â€â€? from insecure daughter to confidant burlesque star â€â€? with ease |
