The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-08-24, Page 17;r; WEIWPATI,AUGVST 14,190 fs Tn, 1Couritxy Playh�use BY JO4%NNE BUCHANAN South, Pacific opened to a standing ovation at the Huron Country, Playhouse on August 17. The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical adapted, from James; A. Michener's book, Tales of the South Pacific, takes place during World War II and revolves around two love stories; one involving a young American nurse and an older French planter; and the other between a beautiful Eurasian girl and a handsome naval lieutenant. Linking the two are a dangerous espionage mission and a lively, fun - loving group of Seabees. Long after you've seen the play, songs like Bali Ha'I, Some Enchanted Evening and Younger Than Springtime, will stay on your mind. You may even catch yourself humming them from time to time (at least on your way home from the play). Such is the power of Rodgers and Hammerstein music. Cast in the lead roles as nurse Nellie Forbush and Frenchman Emile de Becque are Colleen Winton and Janos Tessenyi, the former exuding pixie -like energy and the latter mature sophistication. David Brown as Luther Billis and Sharon Dyer as Bloody Mary are comic delights and reason enough alone to see the play.. Patrick Young as Lt. Joseph Cable and Paulina Gillis as Liat represent the other love interest in the play and what an attractive couple they make! A total cast of 31 (some of whom have been seen in other Playhouse productions THEATR .. VI1 this season) makes it difficult to give special mention to each performer. Suffice to say with this many in the cast, team -work is all- important for a smooth running production. And team -work is what director Ronald Ulrich gets. All important to any musical is, of course, the orchestra and South Pacific features a fine ensemble under the direction of Barbara Young. Choreographer Madeline Paul has achieved excellent results with the cast. Especially memorable are the numbers, There Is Nothing Like A Dame and I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out -a My Hair, and the most hilarious of all, Honey Bun. My personal favorite though is Happy Talk. Set designer Nandor Nyakas has achieved a romantic tropical back''drop complete with palm trees, bamboo huts and for one scone, even an outdoor shower. The humidity at the Playhouse on opening alight lent a natural element to the setting as well. South Pacific is the last main -stage production at Huron Country Playhouse this season and a must for die-hard romantics. In runs oftil September 10, capping f a successful year with artistic director Ulrich at the helm for the first time. Shows under consideration by Ulrich for 1984, subject to availability, are: Ain't Misbehavin', Dracula, They're Playing Our Song, Murder in Mind, Puffin' On The Ritz, Sleuth, Billy Bishop Goes To War, A Thousand Clowns, Snoopy! ! !, The Gin Game, West Side Story, Children of a Lesser God, Noises Off and Bedroom Farce. Ensign Nellie Forbush (Colleen Winton) and Emile de Becque (Janos Tessenyi) fall in love on a South Seas island during World War II in Rodgers and Ham- merstein's South Pacific, which opened at Huron Country Playhouse August 17 and runs until September 10.
