A hilarious new musical, China - The Whole Enchilada - is three men singing, dancing, and irreverently marching their way through five thousand years of Chinese history- in less than two hours with an intermission. One character loves China, one is convinced China is going to overthrow the world at any minute, and the third keeps getting China confused with Japan.

Songs include “Lotus Shoes,” a waltz about foot-binding; the “Khan-Khan,” the Can-Can with Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, and Ricardo Montalban from the Wrath of Khan; and the gospel revival song “Gate of Heavenly Peace,” about the 1989 protests at Tiananmen Square.

And what show about the history of China would be complete without a lounge song from the Peking Man, a duet with Ming the Merciless and Fu Manchu, a vaudeville sketch about Yellow Peril, the Opium Wars explained through a sketch called Hu’s on First, the presentation of Chinese inventions by a very bitter Thomas Edison, a Chinese fire drill, an explanation of why French people suck, the birth of the fortune cookie, and a headlong plunge into racism, human rights, and infanticide?

China – The Whole Enchilada is a fast-paced and hilarious primer on China, but underneath the jokes are many lessons about issues such as racism and bigotry.

In this musical version of the history of China, Brown has collaborated with song writer and composer Paul Mirkovich to create two of the funniest hours I have spent in a theatre in a couple of years'.

China walks a fine line between sheer, ridiculous inanity and some serious truths about that big country over there, the one just past Japan. It's a tricky balancing act -- and a fascinating one.

Sublimely silly! I found myself grinning, if not outright laughing through most of the goofy shenanigans.
