THEATER

On Broadway

ANY WEDNESDAY. Sandy Dennis as a kept woman in a peignoir looks about as sophisticated as a teen-ager wobbling in her first pair of heels. Later, clutching a closetful of balloons, she appears about to take off, which this delightfully wacky comedy does from the start.

FOXY is a vaudeville version of Volpone that permits Master Clown Bert Lahr to play hide-and-sucker with the golddiggers of the Yukon.

DYLAN. A legendary actor, Alec Guin ness, plays a legendary poet, Dylan Thom as, during his punishing reading tours of the U.S. The drama is sustained by Dylan's sly humor, poetic insights, self-abrasive remorse and fierce, hurting battles with his wife.

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK tries to corner the laugh market in two hours and just about does it. Playwright Neil Simon plants six-day newlyweds in a five-flight walk-up where it snows through a missing skylight, and the fun is practically incessant.

NOBODY LOVES AN ALBATROSS, but everybody loves Robert Preston, an enchanting rogue, a human jinx, and a TV python of mass media production. Ronald Alexander's comedy is caustic, pertinent and wildly amusing.

HELLO DOLLY! is an effusive, gladhanding, toe-bounding musical set in turn-of-the-century Manhattan. Carol Channing is the evening's superwoman, and she acts and sings like a cat that has swallowed a cat.
