The South African stage musical on student insurrection in Soweto: long way from Rodgers and Hart. Something is gained by placing it in the actual locale, but there isn't a plotline complex enough to fill it. And the infectious songs and dances -- total fantasy -- sit uneasily alongside the graphic hyperreality of riots, massacres, fire-bombings, torture. Leleti Khumalo, Whoopi Goldberg, Miriam Makeba; directed by Darrell James Roodt. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
