...Most of the songs evoke, or quote, old favorites. "The Nicest Kids in Town" echoes both "The Peppermint Twist" and "Mony Mony," cutely tweaked to "Money money!" The sextet "Mama I'm a Big Girl Now" is the Crystals' "He's Sure the Boy I Love" (the saxophones primmer than Nino Tempo's on the Spector singles) with a twist of "Twist and Shout." Tracy's ballad "I Can Hear the Bells" summons the ghosts of white-girl singers and the ultimate white-girl tribute song, Neil Sedaka's "Calendar Girl"; instead of the months counted off, we hear "Round...

Dozens of chorus boys in leather and houris in saris frolic while the stars risk dislocating their shoulders and display '60s-style legwork not seen in the West since the Peppermint Lounge closed.

...reminiscent of the high school Susie never got to go to, complete with an "intake counselor" who makes sure she gets nicely settled. It's the paradise children pray for, full of soccer fields and friendly dogs. "Our heaven had an ice cream shop, where, when you asked for peppermint stick ice cream, no one ever said, 'It's seasonal.'" But even ice cream gets boring after a while, so Susie turns her attention back to earth. She watches as the shock waves of her death spread slow-motion havoc among her family and friends - her brave but vulnerable...
