By Nawasa Dowden
UP staff writer

ning comedy “Lend Me a Tenor”

Theater.
Adonia Placette, Lamar University’s
director of theater, will direct the Kenneth

p.m. There will also be one performance at
the Julie Rogers Theater on Feb. 16 at 8
p.m. for the Lamarissimo! series.
The play, which is set in 1930
“Lend Me a Tenor” stars Steven
Knott, Port Neches junior, as Max;
Amber Davis, Vidor sophomore, as
Maggie; J. Brent Alford, Orange graduate
assistant, as Saunders; Mark Roberts,
Houston senior, as Tito; Stephanie
Gorris, St. Louis, Mo., freshman, as
Maria; and David Walker, Port Arthur

Luther of Port Arthur plays Diana, and
sophomore Marrakesh Glasspool of
Fairbanks, Alaska, plays Julia.
Laura Brown, Nederland sophomore,

Reservations for “Lend Me a Tenor”
Cleveland, revolves around the antics of
the cast of the Cleveland Opera as its direc-
tor, Saunders, and his assistant, Max, await
the arrival of a famous Italian tenor, Tito
Morelli, and his boisterous wife, Maria.
Other characters include Saunder’s
daughter, Maggie, and the opera’s soprano,
Diana, both of whom are eager to meet the
famous Tito; Julia, the eccentric old woman
who heads the Opera Guild; and a bellhop
who wants to be a star.
The operatic mayhem begins when Tito
falls ill and can’t perform his role as
Othello. Then Max comes to the rescue.
Or does he? The course is set for a farce-
filled comedy of mistaken identity and
frantically funny antics.

Willem Dafoe and Madonna in "Body of evidence."
'Body' escapes all logic
By Seames O’Grady
UP film reviewer
The year 1992 was heralded as the Year of the
Woman, but a more succinct definition of last
year would be the Year of Madonna. The one-
time Material Girl and Boy Toy was calling her
own shots in a serious way and causing serious
waves. With the release of her ’70s-esque album
“Erotica” (the first time Madonna was following
a trend as opposed to creating one) and then her
best-selling photo book “Sex," she was simulta-
neously 1992’s biggest topic of conversation and
biggest punchline.
This year Madonna, being Madonna and
wanting to keep her status as the Queen of
Controversy, has made yet another leap into the
world of acting with the release of “Body of
Evidence,” co-starring Willem Defoe.
“Body of Evidence” is the story of Rebecca
Carlson (Madonna), a sexually adventureous
woman (a real stretch for her), who “fornicates to
death” a wealthy older man. To defend her and
her lethal weapon body, Rebecca hires top-notch
lawyer Frank Dulaney (Defoe), who becomes
caught up in her deviant sexual practices.
Madonna is seriously lost and seriously bad in
“Body of Evidence,” but the whole film is lost
and seriously bad. “Body of Evidence” does not
possess a single logical moment.
The entire investigation is done in the court-
room. Not a single lawyer does any legwork on
this case, which sounds like the premise of a
porno movie. The attorneys cross-examine wit-
nesses who come out of nowhere with informa-

tion that comes out of nowhere. The investiga-
tive process, the one thing that propels a who-
dunit, is completely thrown out.
“Body of Evidence” is billed as an intense
erotic thriller, but the sex scenes are about as
interesting and intense as an Arsenio Hall inter-
view.
Every character in “Body of Evidence,”
except for the judge played by Lillian Lehman,
is an utter moron. Defoe’s Dulaney, a supposedly
smart guy, allows Madonna to pour scalding hot
wax all over his body and is surprised when he
sees humongous burn marks on his chest. What
compounds Dulaney’s stupidity is that he thinks
he can hide these scars from his wife, a woman
who leaves Dulaney and then returns to him at
the end of the film — an insulting ending to an
insulting film.
“Body of Evidence” appears to be a career
nosedive from which Madonna may not recover.
Her next step may be doing a guest spot on a
“Love Boat” reunion show with the rest of the
has-beens.
