...plight in a swinging, Cy Colemanesque number, "Oh! Ain't That Sweet," that almost stops the show. The irony is somewhat jarring, since nothing in the oh-so-serious first act prepares us for it.

"Of course we want to build a socialist democracy," Deng says. "But we can't possibly do it in a hurry, and still less do we want that Western-style stuff. If our 1 billion people jumped into multiparty elections, we'd get chaos like the 'all-out civil war' we saw during the Cultural Revolution... After thinking long and hard about this, I've concluded that we should bring in the People's Liberation...
