With all the successful comedy swirling through the Shaw season, opt for the other three reviewed here. Also running are the two Shaw plays, a couple of offbeat works, and a revival of Harvey, everyone’s favorite invisible rabbit. Most of the plays run well into the fall. We’ll cover the rest next month. For a comprehensive brochure: 800-511-SHAW or at www.shawfest.com
Up in Toronto, Dancap Productions imported two musicals from The States. Miss Saigon, from Pittsburgh’s Civic Light Opera, closed August 1, and a touring version of NYC’s Lincoln Center revival of South Pacific will run August 12-September 5 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in downtown Toronto.
Miss Saigon is a loose adaptation of Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly,” set in 1975, during the last weeks of the American presence in Vietnam. Bargirl Kim is “sold” to Chris, a U. S. Marine Lieutenant, and their tryst blossoms into an ultimately tragic love story. Hovering over all is the Engineer, an amoral Eurasian pimp.
