Do I Hear a Waltz by Richard Rodgers, Steven Sondheim and Arthur Laurents
This is billed as "A Musial Play" and was a big effort for director Margaret
McGowan who took over the job halfway into the rehearsal period. Wyong
Drama Group does occasionally foray into the musical productions [recent
presentations have been Heaven Can Wait (Aug 2005) and
Fourth Wall (August 2001)] and we tend to make a reasonable fist of them.
As Margaret herself says, it is easier to teach an actor to sing than to teach a
singer to act.
This production ran for four performances, Tuesday 29th November,
Thursday 1st December, Friday 2nd December and Saturday 3rd December 1977.
The cast included three McGowans, including Margaret herself.
Plot: Leona is a woman who has dedicated her life to her family after the
death of her parents. She decides to travel to Venice in search of the love she
has never known, and finds Renato - who sadly fails to match up to her romantic
ideals. Too late she realises she has finally thrown away her last remaining
chance of true love.
