Despite the loveable antics of those hard-working ladies from Texas, Broadway musicals have always been a little awkward around prostitutes. The book of New Girl In Town (based on Anna Christie) gets tongue-tied when trying to be honest about its title character's former profession and the creators of Sweet Charity turned Nights of Cabiria's prostitute protagonist into New York's most chaste taxi dancer. To this day I'm certain there are little boys performing in Oliver! who believe Nancy is some kind of den mother and Bet is her helpful assistant.
NOW. HERE. THIS. opened last night at the Vineyard Theatre (108 East 15th Street). The critics are severely divided!
