Anthony Crivello

The actor, who won a Tony for "Kiss of the Spider Woman," is in "Do I Hear a Waltz?" at the Pasadena Playhouse. Fish on Deck: Friday, I'll usually grab a bite to eat at Froggy's, which is in the middle of Topanga Canyon. It's great. They've converted an old American Legion post, and they have the best seafood, and an interesting crowd. There's a deck off the back of the place that juts off into the canyon. They have great whitefish and this special rice that they make too.

In hindsight it seems a most improbable theatrical collaboration. In 1964, playwright Arthur Laurents paired Richard Rodgers, elder statesman of the American musical theater, with Stephen Sondheim, young Turk of musicals, to write music and lyrics for a new version of his 1952 play "The Time of the Cuckoo." The result--"Do I Hear a Waltz?"--was dogged with production problems and a composer and lyricist at loggerheads with each another.

The University of San Diego football team travels to Claremont today to face Pomona-Pitzer College. The Toreros (2-1) defeated Redlands, 21-3, last week in their home opener.

Against Redlands, the Toreros got touchdown runs from Matt Scholl and Anthony Crivello and a 43-yard touchdown pass play from Pat Dixon to Jeff Mansukhani. Mansukhani has scored four touchdowns this season.

Imagine the late William Hickey--maestro of cadaverous, insinuating evil--cast as Andre, a latter-day Fagin, operating a male brothel out of a lavish old Manhattan townhouse rather than running a gang of youthful pickpockets in Victorian London. Hickey, Oscar-nominated for his ancient Mafia don in "Prizzi's Honor," is every bit as gleefully amusing as you would expect, but the film in which he stars, "Twisted," is not the kind of movie you might expect it to be.

At once slick, peppy and a little grueling, Lisa Loomer's infertility comedy "Expecting Isabel," now at the Mark Taper Forum, will hit many, many folks where they live.

College football coaches will go to great lengths and far-away places to land high school recruits. But Brian Fogarty, the University of San Diego coach, needed only to walk across the street to get three key players from University of San Diego High School. On Friday nights, he would watch them through his office window as USDHS played its home games at USD's Torero Stadium. The three--Virgil Enriquez, David Nottoli and Ken Zampese--are now seniors.
