GRADUATE Written and directed by Terry Johnson. With Lorraine Bracco, John Lavelle, Andrea Anders and others. Sets and costumes by Rob Howell. Tickets: $20-80. (212) 239-6200. Let's get the really important issue out of the way first: Lorraine Bracco has a much more attractive body than Kathleen Turner, whom she replaced in The Graduate.
But since you only see it for about 20 seconds in dim light, it may not be enough to last you another two-plus hours. Nothing about this evening makes one believe that the film needs to be adapted for the stage. It's hard to imagine how exciting Mike Nichols' film was 35 years ago.
