n a summer when Austin Powers and Ricky Martin have attained billboard-size sex symbol status, you don't need us to tell you that sexy comes in more than 31 flavors.  And in an image-conscious industry like Broadway, in a city full of beautiful strangers, words ike "sexy" and "beautiful" are as ubiquitous as they are enigmatic.  But that didn't stop InTheater from putting together our second annual "Sexy Men, Beautiful Women" issue.  So what makes these 10 actors so special?  Passion, personality, confidence, intelligence, dstrength, and sense of humor -- and that's just for starters.  Sexiness may be hard to define, but these folks -- Tony Danza, Alice Ripley, Tate Donovan, Susan Egan, B.D. Wong, Manley Pope, Elizabeth Parkinson, Dee Hoty, Heather Headley, and Yancey Arias -- make it a lot easier.
