Once-great choreographer Twyla Tharp showcases work from before she went showbiz, when her stuff was really something special.  The first half of the show is a dance-lecture recreating (and retrospectively condescending to) bits of Tharp's early Judsonish pieces; the second half showcases Tharp's break from that style,  Eight Jelly Rolls, which used to seem fresh, but now seems like the rot setting in:  making Las Vegas safe for her generation.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Time to check again how Italian effort Momofuku Nishi is doing in the current Momofuku resurgence.
