THEATER MAGIC

King and I

(August 7) Once the sun went down and a breeze came up, Lake Clementia Amphitheater became the coolest place to be Saturday night as "Marcia Cope-Hart and Friends" put the theater in Entertainment, Theatre and Culture's concert season with a condensed version of the beloved musical "The King and I." Fifteen children joined resident Cope-Hart and her friends Eugene Chan and Dennis Yep onstage to perform the story of a Victorian Englishwoman who goes to Siam to teach the king's many children. Cope-Hart's daughter, Haleyann, played the Englishwoman's son. The show brought cheers and calls of "Beautiful! Beautiful!" from an audience of about 300. Cope-Hart and Chan sang Broadway selections to complete the evening, and keyboardist Parmys Weinberg was a hit with a rendition of her own composition, "Sacramento."
