BROADWAY

By CLIVE BARNES

August 3, 2007 -- "A CHORUS LINE": 2 ½ STARS A clean carbon copy of a great original. Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, 236 W. 45th St.; (212) 239-6200.

"CURTAINS": 2 STARS Tony-winning David Hyde Pierce as show-bitten detective is the best thing in this backstage musical. Al Hirschfeld Theatre, 302 W. 45th St.; (212) 239-6200.

"DEUCE": 1 ½ STARS Two legendary actresses (real - Angela Lansbury, Marian Seldes) playing two legendary tennis players (fictional) results in a sad double-fault. Music Box Theatre, 239 W. 45th St.; (212) 239-6200. Closes Aug. 19.

"FROST/NIXON": 3 ½ STARS Theatrical prizefight with Brit TV interviewer David Frost (Michael Sheen) against ex-U.S. President Richard Nixon (Frank Langella). Terrific acting. Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, 242 W. 45th St.; (212) 239-6200. Closes Aug. 19.

"LEGALLY BLONDE": 2 ½ STARS Modestly efficient musicalization of the movie. Conventional music, slick production. The Palace Theatre, 1564 Broadway; (212) 730-8200.

"LES MIS?RABLES": 3 STARS Still weaves magic in production that has slight roadshow aroma. Broadhurst Theatre, 235 W. 44th St.; (212) 239-6200.

"OLD ACQUAINTANCE": 1 STAR An inexplicable Roundabout Theater revival of a trivial 1940s comedy, intermittently redeemed by scenery that looks like an ad for classy real estate. American Airlines Theater, 227 W. 42nd St.; (212) 719-1300.

"SPRING AWAKENING": 4 STARS Groundbreaking rock musical brimming with youth and hormones tamped down by early 20th century sexual oppression. Fantastic performances. Great show. Eugene O'Neill Theatre, 230 W. 49th St.; (212) 239-6200.

"XANADU": 1 STAR An iconic film flop made into a flimsily campy musical. Don't rush to put on your roller skates. Helen Hayes Theater, 240 W. 46th St.; (212) 239-6200.

"THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING": 3 STARS Vanessa Redgrave is luminous in theatrical version of Joan Didion's memoir of death and transfiguration. Booth Theatre, 222 W. 45th St.; (212) 239-6200. Closes Aug. 25.
