Details

Summary

More than those of any composer or lyricist writing for the stage, the songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein have become an integral part of our everyday lives. We sing them in the shower; we dance to them in ballrooms; we hear them on the radio and in clubs and, yes, in elevators and supermarkets, too.

This stunning collection of Rodgers & Hammerstein compositions places five performers in a theatrical setting: first “backstage,” where the songs are sung as personal interplay, and then “onstage,” where the songs are presented to an audience. Offering its performers an opportunity to explore timeless songs within their own styles and sensibilities, Some Enchanted Evening delights its audience with a glorious parade of genuine hits.

BILLY – Tall, dark, sexy... could play Jud or Billy Bigelow. A Leading Man type who must sing well and have great personality. This guy must dazzle the ladies with his charm and have a sense of humor and a commanding way with the music.
WILL – A song-and-dance man who could play Will Parker as well as Lt. Cable. A friendly performer who must be able to play comedy as well as tender moments.
JULIE – A pretty young woman who could play Laurey or Julie. Big soprano. Must have a soft sexiness and playfulness that is endearing. Beneath it all is a spunky lady.
ANNA – An attractive woman who could play Anna, Lady Thiang or Aunt Eller. Must have a quality of mystery and sensuousness and be able to play both the regal and the silly.
NELLIE – A strong and upfront young performer who might play Ado Annie or Nellie. Appealing with a big, big voice. Might also be at home doing rock & roll, but now finds herself doing the Rodgers & Hammerstein classics.

Additional ENSEMBLE is optional.
