"Some Enchanted Evening" The Rebirth of a Classic Musical. Executive Producer and Artistic Director, David Armstrong, talks with Bartlett Sher, the outbound Artistic Director of Seattle`s Intiman Theatre and Resident Director at Lincoln Center Theatre, of how he and his team made a classic come alive for a new generation, concluding with a look at the career of South Pacific`s creators, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who revolutionized the American Musical by creating what they called "the musical play." Director Bartlett Sher`s smash-hit Tony Award-winning revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein`s South Pacific brought spectacular new life to a musical that hadn`t been revived on Broadway since its original production in 1949. The 5th Avenue Theatre`s Producing Artistic Director David Armstrong will tell the story of this legendary team, from their early shows with other collaborators to their historic partnership, their timeless shows and their enduring effect on the musical theater. Featuring musical performances by some of Seattle`s finest singers including Patti Cohenour, Jessica Skerrit and Eric Ankrim performing selections from Oklahoma!, Carousel, Flower Drum Song, Cinderella, The King and I and The Sound of Music.
