...proclaim a message to the world. The only other people in the cell with Agca and John Paul were the Pope's personal secretary, two security agents-and a Vatican photographer and television crew. The Roman Catholic Church for many centuries has used imagery-paintings, sculpture, architecture-to express its spiritual meanings.

But the other family members are often deadly serious; they express themselves in Composer Henry Krieger's capacious Tin Pan arias, which haunt the ear without paying much more than lip service to the Afro rhythms that energized his Dreamgirls score. In the final gasp of the show's schizophrenia, young Willie comes to a perverse decision about the show...
