PAXTON TOPS IN “NINE”
5. Larry Paxton was joined by Cathy Foy as he came out to meet the audience after the closing night performance of “Nine” Saturday at Army Community Theatre. Paxton was superb as filmmaker Guido Contini, and Foy was so hot as Sarraghina that the show had to stop after her big number until the audience was finished applauding.
