A Grand Night For Singing
Cherry Creek Theatre:
June 8
– July 1
To
quote lyricist Oscar Hammerstein, the musical revue currently being produced by
The Cherry Creek Theatre Company at The Shaver-Ramsey Show Room is indeed ‘some
enchanted evening.’
What else could it be with a fine director like Bernie
Cardell and a cast that boasts such names as: Stephen Day, Boni McIntyre, Susie Roelofsz, Zachary Shannon and Angela
Mendez.
“A Grand Night for Singing” was nominated for two Tony Awards, for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding
Revue.
Stephen Day, who has received two
Henry Awards for Javert in “Les
Miserables” and Max in “Sunset Boulevard”(both at The Arvada Center), has
been nominated for this year’s Henry
Award for his portrayal of Molokov in The Arvada Center’s magnificent
production of “Chess.”
Day is an internationally sought after musical
theatre actor who has recently performed the lead in “The Drowsy Chaperone” in
Toronto. You may have heard his exquisite work as soloist with the CSO when Marvin Hamlisch conducted.
Boni
McIntyre has received critical
acclaim for her outstanding portrayal of Abigail Adams in Performance Now’s recent
production of “1776” as well as for
her acting and singing in Miners Alley
Playhouse’s awe-inspiring production of Terrence McNally’s “Master Class.”
All five actors revel
in the chance to bring us those glorious
old Rodgers and Hammerstein favorites from the golden age of the American musical
theatre.
The arrangements of the
forty Rogers and Hammerstein classics in this revue are thoroughly engaging and
the accompaniment by Rob Lowe divine.
These unforgettable
songs come from such shows as “Oklahoma,”
“Carousel,” “State Fair,” “South Pacific,” “Flower Drum Song” and “The Sound of
Music.
“There are even a few
songs from a few shows by this famous duo that are hardly ever seen: “Pipe Dream,” “Allegro” and “Me and
Juliet.”
If you’re looking for
a relaxing evening that’s pure unalloyed pleasure and enjoyment you can’t go
wrong taking a trip down memory lane with these five fine vocalists and the
Rodgers and Hammerstein songbook.
Not to be missed.
