“Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger, You may see a stranger across a crowded room ...
” Some people reading those words will immediately start humming the tune from “Some Enchanted Evening,” the signature song from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s immortal Broadway classic, “South Pacific.” Maine State Music Theatre Artistic Director Curt Dale Clark recently saw “South Pacific” several times at the Fulton Theatre in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. “When the music for ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ started up, I’d always see someone put an arm around his partner,” Clark said.
That’s the magic of musical theater and that’s what will come to MSMT directly from the Fulton Theatre starting on June 5 at the Pickard Theater at Bowdoin College. Clark brims with enthusiasm when he previews the upcoming season. “Ticket sales are booming for both the main stage events and the concert series,” he notes.
“and some shows are already sold out.” He urges people to purchase tickets and not wait until the last minute. Everything is in place for a banner summer season.
The audience-friendly main stage shows include: “South Pacific,” “Funny Girl,” “White Christmas” and “Beautiful, the Carole King Musical.” Incidentally, Marc Robin, the executive artistic producer of Fulton Theatre, will direct “White Christmas,” a musical he describe as “a celebration of tap dancing.” The concert series will showcase the sounds of an array of prodigious musi.
