What continues to enchant critics who have to see more productions of Steel Magnolias than most civilians is what a truly funny, finely observed and genuinely touching script that Robert Harling constructed back in 1987. What's different about Andrews Living Arts Studio's uneven new production is that, atypically, it's the pathos that works far better than the comedy.
