...costumed as the world's only sexy rhino. Melody pours from a marvel designed by one Nick O'Lodeon, which features 29 instruments. A belly dancer gyrates, jugglers toss balls, and minstrels stroll. On the next level is a nonstop vaudeville show and a sparkling crystal carousel filled with dolphins, Pegasi, centaurs, griffins and a 3,500-lb. whale...
...huddle in the basement, ceilinged by exposed pipes that cast members have garnished with crepe paper. The festive one-for-all atmosphere heightened in intensity; in a few hours the only remnant of two months work would be a stack of slides the producer arranges in a small, plastic carousel. "AAAaaah, Ooooh, la-la-la-la-la-ne-ne-ne-t-t-t-;" gregarious gobs gather in garious groups." The cast hopped and stomped, up and down, practicing diction and singing scales, up and down.

Ruby, in his sharkskin suit, hawks strippers and gimmicks like a twister's exercise board. He is pathologically eager to please and to succeed, to manifest the American dream...
...performers and has some of Brel's best songs to sing. In "Old Folks" she sings with the slow pace and gentle hesitations that mark elderly people's speech patterns, and at the same time captures the ticking rhythm of the clock that is measuring their final hours. In "Carousel" her voice turns into a whirling machine moving at a furiously accelerating pace. Like the machine, the voice comes towards us and then recedes as it goes round and round. The voice becomes the cycle of fate that condemns people to relive the failures of their lives again and again...
