    cute. definatly recomend a soundtrack of it!! its a really silly musical. imagine seven brides for seven brothers mixed with the war aspects of All Quiet on the western front, but rated G!!! so a lot of the attempts to be nonoffensive just turns out to be oddly politically incorr...( read more)ect now. time pieces... it was based from a staged play, that would be AWEsome!! so if this is ever performed live, dont miss it!!!!!!!!

    Brilliantly dark look at Vietnam through the lens of WWI music hall. Dripping with restrained irony, this is all too often overlooked today. Due for a revival.
