- Abstract
- Through May 20, 2000
"Baakari Wilder works his usual magic in a few sadly abbreviated tap numbers. The buttery flow, deep articulation and subtle accents of his footwork are too often overwhelmed by the rest of the stage action. There is more truth in in the gaggling, comical droop of Mr. Wilder's torso than in anything else in the show, but he spends most of his time hanging around at the back of the stage."
"At one point, Karida Griffith emerged from the group of modern-jazz dancers and joined him in a series of energetic tap trades."
