"Have you ever dreamed of escaping from your dull existence to a new life on a tropical island?" Jimmy Buffett asks, introducing this cycle of twenty songs from the musical he adapted with Herman Wouk from Wouk's novel of the same name. DON'T STOP THE CARNIVAL tells the story of a palm tree-studded fantasy island and the Everyman hero, Norman Paperman, who escapes there. The customary Buffettesque Caribbean sound is in full effect, nuanced by the play's story line as well as a variety of characters and singing/speaking voices, including Wouk himself. CARNIVAL should please Parrotheads, with sparkly tropical songs like "Calaloo" and "Champagne Si, Agua No," which percolate with Buffett's familiar lighthearted island spirit.
