Show Outdoor Setting At Westminster 2B - 'Night Music' Is Well Worth The Stroll a shiver or two when she sings by Mark Arner SALT LAKE. I thought the experience was worth the stroll. When the night smiled Friday after various desires were tossed about in rapid-fir- e succession and - the players were finally satiated with love, knowledge and death -- 1 felt a smile spreading across my own cheeks. And, after shaking off some of the evenings chill, I remember humming Send In The Clowns, and reflecting on the plays bright spots as I walked from the outdoor stage back to my car. Unicorn Theatres production of A Little Night Music at the Westminster College Am- phitheatre successfully portrayed the somewhat explicit, emotional fantasy originally produced and directed on Broadway by Harold Prince. Desiree, the plays chief seductress, is portrayed stunningly by Sue an Peters and Stanford Smiths role as the handsome, husband Frederick was equally appealing. She had the curves to convince you of her countless array of lovers and maintained that necessary aloofness to leave you with no doubt of her manipulative powers. Her matter of fact way of turning slightly-greyin- g and parting her downstage houserobe to provide Smith with an was done eyefull without batting a lash. Ms. Peters exercises the same aloofness when explaining her philosophy to some female admirers. We have a right to commit any crime against our husbands as long as we do not harm their dignity. And yet, you react with pity and jibe with the wise, old woman about her and Fredericks dilemma. Both she and Smith are remarkably easy to listen to as they express their hopeless love for one another in the duet, Send In The Clowns. Frederick, on the other hand, takes a bit longer to warm up in his opening scene with his airhead wife Anne played convincingly by Michelle Almond. At first he seems a bit too removed from his wife - even considering the fact that after 11 months of marriage, she is still a virgin. His stage presence blossoms, however, as he renews communications with Desiree. Also effective is the blocking and choreography which includes several freezes, used during a scene to veer attention to a few specific characters. Or, a sudden turn upstage by the cast to place attention on a lone singer. The set by Buckley Jeppson is simple, yet very practical and effective. It includes an iron gazebo painted white and a white backdrop of arched latticework. Marla Brimleys lively suggestions and seductive glances as Petra provide another of the plays bright spots. As the mischevous maid out for a little romp with the single men, she is convincing whether speaking, singing or in a freeze between scenes. Mark Francis is a convincing as polite, pure Henrik studying for the ministry and is equally effective as Henrik struggles mentally against his deep love for his fathers wife, Because asthmatic condition, he moved to Calif, where he met his future wife.
