Bicentennial Follies is an intriguing concoction. Its authors, Paris K.C. Barclay, Steven Gordon Crist and Mark O'Donnell, have seized on a wellworn theme--the fraudulent underbelly of American life, symbolized by the special sham of Hollywood, attached it to a frankly derivative score and allowed their creative instincts free rein.

His rubbery-faced performance in "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" is one of the highlights of the show. As Sarah, Winnie White sings and acts quite well, although her solo, "If I Were A Bell," is better suited to her smoothly lyrical voice than are some of her other tunes...
