Caught in Q tantalizing time warp

RODGERS AND
HART: A Musical
Celebration of Love is a
tribute to a pair of
musicians whose talent
and charm have placed
an indelible stamp on
the thirties.

It is also a tribute to the six
talented cast members who
bring it off so well.

The revue, which
premiered at Presentation
House Wednesday, is the
fourth production = of
Vancouver Musical Theatre,
a company which has proven
itis worth taking notice of.

Rodgers and Hart is solid
and entertaining and the
players, Philip Eckman,
Lynda Boyd, Keith Quong,
Gabrielle Jones, Sandy
Winsby and Jill Diane Filion,
make up an enthusiastic and
talented cast as they perform
with fun and feeling.

Add to this the genius of
Rodgers and Hart and an
excellent selection of songs
and the result is an evening
full of such varied aural
