Review of U-Carmen eKhayelitsha (2005) by Ming Siu G — 26 May 2007
Very brave; some would say foolhardy. Whether or not it works, though, is another matter altogether. While the plot stands still for the musical numbers, it rushes by during the dramatic segments, to the extent that there are huge gaps in narrative logic that are never explained.
An exotic setting and actors giving their all really can't save a production that neglects a decent script to begin with.
