News By Janice Seto, Editor The King and I in Review Since the Editor saw only Thursday's performance (May 10), I have included the opinions of other theatre goers in this review. To me, the highlights of the musical were the set and the costumes. The set was decorated in exotic, oriental reds and had the characteristic dragon beautifully beautifully frozen on the back mural. The make-up people used great skill in successfully transforming the mostly Caucasian cast into inhabitants inhabitants of Siam. The costumes! The stunning ball gowns, the cheongsam style dresses, and the King's attire were all a delight to the eyes. The acting surpassed the expectations of the audience; it was better than usual for a student production. production. The reproduction of the Rodgers and Hammer- stein music was unique; two pianos and percussion supplied supplied the themes. Good music can't be spoiled! The Uncle Tom scene elicited much praise from the audience as a result. My advice to the directors is to try to coax more volume from the actors. And I regret to say that the less-than- authentic attempts at the Siamese language were NOT amusing. Every language has dignity and should not be sullied by farcical imitations. Mr. Peter Abrams, an English teacher at Bowmanville Bowmanville High School, was interes-. ted in seeing The King and I to catch "the other side" of his students. His opinion of the production may be summed up with superlatives of praise. He was astounded by the high quality of the musical overall and proclaims it to be among the best B.H.S. has ever produced. produced. The "tremendous" night was technically superb with the costumes and makeup makeup taking top honours. Mr. Abrams was amazed by the acting range of the actors, especially those actors who incorporated their personalities personalities into their roles. Although the pickup for the songs was lax, Mr. Abrams stated that the musical was audible and enjoyable. Critic ÉO agrees with Mr. Abrams that the technical aspects of the production were flawless. The choreography was impressive in its simplicity. simplicity. Todd McRobbie was a true comic in his role as the Dog. Rhonda Petersen's singing singing was comparable to Deborah Kerr's in the movie version. Rob Bunker started the tears flowing in the last scene in an amazing performance performance that night. EO mentions mentions that the words in some of the songs were not heard distinctly. distinctly. Another flaw was the whipping scene which had the excitement of a rush hour traffic jam in downtown Toronto. The emotions ran high but the outcome was predictable. In the other cast, Shelley Geddes and Dan Coombes were lively in the Schoolroom scene. Rhonda Petersen and Chris Kelly were lively in the Apology and Prayer scene. The supporting roles were acted with vitality, especially the Uncle Tom scene. Both EO and Mr. Abrams feel the concluding scene to be unsatisfactory, an anticlimax. The Editor believes that Rodgers and Hammerstein intended the King and I's main focus to pass onto the new King as a sign of new progress during the last scene. The audience seemed to enjoy the musical, giving long rounds of applause. The King and I pleased the audience with good acting and great music, backed up with great props. Overall it was a successful musical carried off with aplomb by the B.H.S. Drama Club. This production will probàbly 'be'a hard act to follow but B.H.S. will try. I hope you have found this column interesting. You probably probably disagree with our reviewers reviewers in some areas but even we have our differences in opinion so you aren't alone. We are proud to have seen The King and I and congratulate the B.H.S. Drama Club on the fine effort. BACK A FIGHTER. WITH EASIER SEALS.
