Woven together with haunting languge and a bizarre story line, Ocean Sea centers around four lost souls staying at a seaside inn, each hoping that the ocean's therapeutic power will heal their spiritual wounds.

As Bartleboom combs...

She talked for 15 minutes about the history that her husband had made...

...Driving Miss Daisy, The Last Night of Ballyhoo). Indeed, Parade, which just opened at Lincoln Center, is the kind of ambitious musical that can sometimes soar to greatness. It certainly takes a healthy bite out of a juicy story.
