Not Quite Curtains For "Curtains"

I always feel a certain protectiveness for a show I write about. So I was not terribly surprised to see mixed reviews for the new Kander & Ebb musical "Curtains." (I'm seeing the show Tuesday.) The friendly reviews are pretty modest and even the negative reviews are polite. But I was pleased to see that everone agreed on one point: David Hyde Pierce is a genuine star and holds center stage with ease.
