This past week, I found myself in Italy with four London ladies, in Denmark as a Danish prince deals with the death of his father, in New York City as a young man assuages his grief through music, and at a San Francisco apartment where successive generations deal with life’s challenges. Beginning this cornucopia of entertainment is Pacific Coast Repertory Theatre’s world premiere of “Enchanted April.”. The story follows Rose (well played by Amy Franklin Leonards) and Lottie (an effervescent Joy Sherratt) who rent a villa in Italy for a month and, thanks to their ad in the newspaper, are joined by Lady Cynthia (a mesmerizing Rachel Powers) and Mrs. Fisher (nicely done by Ellen Brooks).

Work-shopped at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the evolving musical features music/orchestrations by Richard B, Evans and book/lyrics by Charles Leipart, Lois Grandi directs a tight ensemble of 12 actors, including ballet art/ballerina/dancer/ballet shoes/ oil painting /canvas/original artwork. Broadway veterans David Bryant (Rose’s self-involved writer husband Frederick), and Christopher Vettel (Lottie’s money-obsessed husband Mellresh), Grandi’s cast shows its considerable talent as the singers easily handle the show’s intricate melodies and tight harmonies, One of the many highlights is a comedic number involving Lottie, Mellresh and a bed..

The servants (Ryan Henry, Maria Mikheyenko, Josselyn O’Neill and Andrew Mondello) add their own humor and ambience to the mix with Lucy Powers (Rose’s daughter Alice) and David Judson (the villa owner Thomas Briggs) rounding out the cast. Grandi, a former Broadway dancer and actress, creates beautiful stage pictures and charming dance numbers on Patrick Brandon’s lovely set enhanced by Michael Oesch’s lighting and Margaret daSilva’s gorgeous flapper-era costumes. While the show is still evolving and the May-December relationship between Rose and Frederick doesn’t seem to fit the characters, this new show certainly has lots to recommend it — beautifully drawn characters, engaging music under the direction of conductor Pat Parr, and a charming storyline.
