Miming, dancing, and singing the lovely old songs of The Great War, Miss Littlewood's actors lightly trace its course. National leaders disclaim any thought of war and then whip out their offensive plans--just in case.

The life of Fanny Brice has also been turned into a musical called Funny Girl, starring Barbra Streisand singing a score by Jule Styne...
