Young people have organized into associations to combat the briganti, have tacked up posters denouncing their terrorism and sought to expose townspeople who collaborate with them.

The mayor of the northern town of Nuoro has demanded their punishment, crying, in Sardinia's Latinate dialect, "Zustissia cherimm!" (We want justice!).

Director-choreographer Billy Wilson has made the best of a bad book with pacing sufficiently breathless to keep the audience from dozing off between songs. It's lucky, because the score is splendid. "Lover Number One," "The Jewels of the Crown," and "I'm Gonna Get My Man," are finely crafted showtunes. "The Early Bird Gets the Worm" got the kickline so carried away that one of the would-be sex kittens lost his head piece (he recovered the hair deftly, though he needn't have bothered; his own was long enough...
