Article makes quick mention of Avenue Q, and Lion King, Taymor's Magic Flute at the Metropolitan Opera and plans for a Taymor directed bdwy version of Spider-Man for next season. Mention of 5 shows by Basil Twist, and quotes from Basil Quick mention of Bread and Puppet Theatre and Paul Zaloom. Brief report on Dan Hurlin's "Disfarmer" at St Ann's Warehouse Review of "Diva" by Sophie Krog of Denmark presented at HERE Arts Center (really sorry I didnt know about this earlier- Diva was one of the best shows at the UNIMA festival in Perth last year.)
