That drastic step hardly proved necessary. Sitting between a portrait of the Ayatullah Khomeini and an anti-Shah poster, Marine Corporal William Gallegos seemed fit and lucid.

He has included kick lines, scat numbers and Three Stooges slapstick falls. These numbers are endless and the act almost succeeds in ruining an otherwise brilliant production...
