Some 17% of all men suffer from alcohol-related problems or dependence, and more than one in ten of all deaths in Brazil are alcohol-related - which is two and a half times the world average, according to the Brazilian Psychiatric Association...

Only Belushi upstages the chaos around him, and even his repertoire of eating and belching jokes seems strained when separated from the scruffy, modest context of Animal House...
...actually is. All of which gives them good rea on to sing clever songs about people who do not believe in monarchy but must be king. And this, after all, is the only important point. Gondoliers opens with 20 solid minutes of singing, and may just be the lightest, frothiest, most musical musical G & S ever wrote. And the word is that director John Lundeen is planning to do the production in the lightest, frothiest, most delightful Harvard G & S style.
