SOME ENCHANTED EVENING - The Athens Theatre Non Equity Auditions

OVERVIEW:

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. This show places five performers -each of whom could easily be cast in any Rodgers and Hammerstein show - in a theatrical setting -- first backstage, where the songs are sung as personal interplay and then on stage where the songs are performed for the audience. Of course, the songs themselves and the five performers are the most important elements. 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 Cain'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.
