| The Roundabout's ''She Loves Me'' and Fox's TV ''A Christmas Story'' both featured the delightful Jane Krakowski ... and have Christmas scenes, but they are worlds apart. To me, ''She Loves Me'' is a gem of musical comedy, written by Masteroff, Bock and Harnick, and its lovely, lilting songs are based on compelling, multi-dimensional characters, arise organically from the dramatic situations and burst with charm and wit. ... To me, however, ''A Christmas Story'' is an overlong, anecdotal children's musical with too many extraneous and inconsequential numbers. On Broadway, I thought it deserved to be a cute 90-minute show, so a 3-hour TV version was really stretching its nearly nonexistent plot. And as much as I love the catchy melody of ''Don't Shoot Your Eye Out,'' I can't imagine any kid, especially one obsessed with a BB gun, fantasizing this 1930s tap number. | |
