Some Enchanted Evening: The Songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein at Fox Valley Repertory

Daily Herald - Recommended

"...Smartly imagined and well-sung (with the right combination of reverence and vim), the show unfolds concert-style on Kevin Depinet's raked set, uncluttered save for a baby grand and a couple of chairs and set against a screened backdrop depicting the interior of a grand theater - the perfect setting in which to celebrate some of musical theater's crown jewels."

Copley News Service - Somewhat Recommended

"...Director Bill Jenkins moves his ensemble around minimally and doesn’t extract much energy from the song after song presentation. Bob Kiser contributed a bit of rudimentary choreography. One individual who distinguished himself was Tom Clear, the piano accompanist, who was tasteful, musical, and unflappable throughout the evening."

"...if you are the type that finds Johnny Mathis’ outfits subdued, then perhaps "Some Enchanted Evening: The Songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein" would be worth the trip to Pheasant Run on a Saturday evening; if of course you throw in a mani/petti at Mario Tricocci to top it off. Otherwise, save the gas money and the cash and download "Carousel" onto your I-Phone 3G."

ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended

"...Some Enchanted Evening: The Songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein is a nostalgic evening of toe-tapping songs from two giants of the American musical stage. Amazingly, some of the younger folks in the audience stated that they only knew a few of the songs. All the more reason that this show needs to be mounted every few years. It is long over due. Kudos to Noble Fool Theatricals for giving us another reason to hum along with great tunes."
