With the first show only one week away, the Munster Theater Company prepares for their spring musical production. The production named “Some Enchanted Evening” is a show featuring songs by composers Rodgers and Hammerstein, with the theme being relationships and your love for another person. During the show, the performers will sing a variety of different songs and will feature solos throughout the performance.
“A common misconception about musical revues is that they don’t have acting,” junior Wesley Harle said “ That’s not the case; you are performing through your song.”
Since this show is a musical revue, there is no dialogue being spoken. The whole show is performed through songs and gestures, and no regular spoken dialogue.
“I’m excited to get to have a show where it’s just non-stop singing,” Harle said. “It will give us a lot of opportunity for artistic expression.”
With the auditorium under construction, the spring production will be performed at the Center for Visual and Performing Arts. Harle describes his feelings about the new stage environment.
“It’s scary, because it’s a very different experience from anything we’ve performed on before, but also very exciting,” he said.
With a change in environment and a show with no dialogue, this production can bring on many challenges. Sophomore Logan Dumaresq tells us about his biggest challenge during a theater production.
“The most challenging part is keeping all of your lines in order. Because you can’t replace lines, you have to keep them the same way,” Dumaresq said.
Despite the challenges, the members of the cast stay positive and are working hard to put on a successful show.
“A good production doesn’t depend on how well the show does,” Dumaresq said. “It’s how much fun you have while you’re doing it.”
All the members who are putting this show together, whether it be the tech producers or the cast members, encourage everyone to come out to see the spring musical review.
“This is a show to be watched to see our movements, see the singing, or listen to the singing, and it is enchanting,” Harle said.
