From next week's magazine: New York's Christopher Bonanos reviews Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them ("witty and sharp"), currently at the Public, and Stephanie Zacharek reviews Broadway's Reasons to Be Pretty ("Sounds an awful lot like a master's thesis") and Rock of Ages ("Cheap and desperate ... This is no way to get your rocks off"). [NYM, NYM]
