SEGMENT #5 -  While ARMISTEAD MAUPIN's "TALES OF THE CITY" translated well to

troupe in Glasgow, Scotland debuted their version of "BABYCAKES" last month.
 Correspondent DAVID PROSSER has an excerpt from the on-stage early-80's
adventures of Mary Ann Singleton and "Michael Mouse", talks with playwright
JOHN BINNY, people in the opening night crowd and Maupin himself, and
provides a personal review in conversation with REBECCA SANDLES [from BBC

Francisco" from TONY BENNETT's 1996 Grammy-winning "MTV Unplugged" album;
