| Marc Miller takes a look at Vanities–The Musical at the York Theatre Company: As an Off-Broadway nonmusical, Vanities ran forever, opening in 1976 and closing after almost 1,800 performances. A look at three besties (one of whom was played by Kathy Bates) at the end of high school, the end of college, and the end of their 20s, Jack Heifner's play had big emotions, relatable situations, and a low budget. All the basics for a smart, touching little musical would appear to be there. So why does Vanities–The Musical, at the York, feel so vapidly pleasant, or pleasantly vapid? |

| Ugh. What a banality! Well, at least it's a cheap night out in a nice neighborhood. | |

| I loved the show. What's so great about that neighborhood? There's nothing there. Nowhere to eat. I thought the show was wonderful and the cast was terrific. The play opened the doors for women and women writers. It is an important play in theatre history and in off-Broadway. So why not enjoy a talented cast? They sing the hell out of it and the staging is very inventive. Relax. | |
