Five years later, with enough glow- ing reviews and professional awards gained through extensive stage ap- pearances from Stratford to Toronto's best, patrons to Playhouse II are treated to a fabulous musical evening not to be missed. Five months ago Aggie, along with two performer friends with whom she had worked in reportory productions of the Young Company at the Playhouse, began a collaborate effort to present Aggie's outstanding voice matched to the exciting music of composer -conductor Leonard Berns- tein. Playhouse musical director Michael Mulrooney arranged the songs and Scott Hurst (who also has a fantastic tenor voice among his talents) wrote and dire this one - woman cabaret. Leonard Bernstein is as well known as the conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra as he is for those unforgettable Broadway musicals. such as West Side Story, Peter Pan and Candide. There is no opposition of the two musical forms - classical melds with Broadway and both are elevated to a sophisicated, complicated, seductive execution. Born of theatrical parents and trained in instrumental as well as vocal studies at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, Ms. Elliot has Learned how to use her exceptional voice to best advantage.

She knows tostayaway from the little love ditties or the boogie-woogie rhythms Bernstein sometimes wrote into a score. The huge painted panels in impres- sionistic style executed by designer George Pruden ( this year's wardrobe master at Huron Country Playhouse) provide a visually interesting backdrop to set the Broadway mood. Theywould probably overpower most other performers on the small stage, but work well here, in that Ms. Elliot does not rely on dynamism, or flam- boyant movement to put across a song. Do not go to this production expec- ting a folksy sing along, or even' a nostalgia binge. This is an evening of dramatic, meaningful, somewhat dif- ficult music. Aggie Elliot didn't choose the easy stuff. She gives a per- formance of near operatic quality employing a selection of genius Bern - stein's scores that fully allow her to express her full range of vocal emotions. This is one of the most powerful voices in Canadian theatre today, clear and true without any warble or artifice. Although we may wish for more elaborate staging and choreography as we have become ac- customed to expect, this small lack is more than compensated for by her ex- quisite voice. One comes away spiritually uplifted. Squirrels Continued from front page said she had heard many adverse comments about the project. She add- ed, "I am surprised council voted in favour without hearing the song. It's okay to have BIA backing, but not taxpayer's money." In defence on the song, Snell replied, "Right now it's 95 percent financially backed and ready for studio work. The first public ap- pearance of the song will be this Fri- day night at Sidewalk Sales days at about 8:15 p.m. at the open area bet- ween the library and the old town hall." • 1111 ENTERTAINS — Huron County's Queen of the Furrow, Lori Con- sitt, was one of several local entertainers at Stanley Township's Wintario program on July 17.
