Some Enchanted Evening Summary
Some Enchanted Evening is a celebration of songs that have become a part of our lives. We sing them in the shower and we sing them to entertain and amuse. Each singer must bring his own style and personality to the songs and to the situations in which they are set. For example, when Curly sings The Surrey with the Fringe On Top to Laurie he wants to ask her out. Each actor must find his own way and own style to achieve that result, just as each actress will find her own special way of making I Can't Say No work as a very contemporary look at a woman's relationship with men, etc. The performers play themselves, and it's a wonderful opportunity for them to explore the songs within their own styles rather than within the boundaries of the original characters.
SOME ENCHANTED EVENING - THE SONGS OF RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
