'Sex' appeals at the Aurora Theatre
If Mae West had not changed the title of her play to Sex at the last minute, would we be talking about <i>Follow the Fleet</i> today? Maybe, because whatever the title, it was a racy affair for Broadway in 1926, and the legend that West became would warrant revisiting her early efforts at establishing that legacy. But let's face it, <i>Sex</i>, as a title, is about as succinct, specific, and eye-catching as you can get - whether it's 1926 or 2007.

Ruthless! The Musical
There's a sense of time-traveling as you descend the stairs to the unprepossessing cellar showroom known as the Purple Onion. Along with the hungry i, the Purple Onion was a legendary showcase for hip and rising stars when North Beach had the beat in the 1960s. There is also a sense of time-traveling about the club's current occupant, <i>Ruthless! The Musical</i>, but the Wayback Machine experiences have different destinations.
