THEATER

On Broadway THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT, by Bill Manhoff, is as timeless as a Punch-and-Judy show and as timely as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Diana Sands, as a sexy pussycat who claws, and Alan Alda, as a bookish owl who screeches, fill the evening with good, vulgar, neurotic laughter.

LUV. Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin take a slapstick and tongue-wagging jaunt on a suspension bridge in Murray Schisgal's absurd spoof of the theater of the absurd. The hand of Mike Nichols mixes gags and sight gags with unerring skill.

OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR. For this music-hall documentary, Joan Littlewood hits where it hurts with laughter by blending sentimentality, song and satire. A marvelously adroit cast, led by Victor Spinetti, plays the men and women who lived, joked and suffered through World War I.

COMEDY IN MUSIC. Victor Borge proves himself a Great Dane as he toys with the ivories and tickles his audience in a 1½-man romp with Co-Pianist and Foil Leonid Hambro.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. One of the most remarkably versatile talents of the contemporary stage, Zero Mostel breathes nostalgic life into this pleasant, poignant musical comedy derived from Sholom Aleichem's tales of Tevye and his five daughters.

Off Broadway

THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY. Mitty might have difficulty recognizing himself in this musical exercise thinly based on the Thurber character, but a clever cast and fresh songs and dances provide a zesty evening.
