“Promises, Promises” – A Success As It Delivers As Promised At Southampton Cultural Center

T.J. ClementebyT.J. Clemente

Home Arts

The Southampton Cultural Center’s Center Stage musical production of Promises, Promises is everything that’s wonderful about musical theatre in the Hamptons. Darren Ottati, who portrays Chuck Baxter, is outstanding, and makes this production a must see. He energizes the show with a certain endearing quality, like the “scarecrow” does in the epic classic movie, The Wizard of Oz! He is able to create intimacy with the audience and by the end of the show; “Chuck Baxter” is your new best friend. His singing voice is clear, strong, pleasant and with great range.

Shannon DuPuis’s sweet voice reaches deep into your soul as she sings from her heart and reaches every single person in the audience. As Fran Kubelik, Shannon DuPuis delivers the shivers, the tears, and the vulnerability along with the focus a leading lady must project in a successful production.

Director Michael Disher, whose body of work in the Hamptons is impeccable with a consistent excellence of polish, professionalism and enjoyable theater, has once again delivered another wonderful production in Promises, Promises. Disher over the years has established himself as a cultural icon on the East End by guiding the talents of so many and forging them into capable performing actors. Promises, Promises‘ musical direction is by Amanda Jones; stage management is by Carol L. Sjoholm with lighting design by Ben Miller. Sound design is by Dennis Milone and choreography/staging by Disher and DuPuis.

For the basis of legal references the show, Promises, Promises, (book by Neil Simon) is based on the screenplay The Apartment by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond with music by Bert Bacharach and lyrics by Hal David; it was produced for the Broadway stage by David Merrick.

The nuts and bolts of every live theatrical production is the cast who often play a few roles. They give it their all! Toni-Jo Birk (hostess/second girl) exhibited great energy in movement and voice. Julie Crowley (Sylvia Gilhooley/orchestral voice) was youthful fun and playful. Richard Alder (Mike Kirkeby) beams on stage. Bethany Dellapolla (Barbara, Ginger, orchestral voice) is always dynamic in her dancing, singing and movements. Dane DuPuis scared me as a menacing Karl Kubelik and Sheila Engh (first girl/orchestral voice) is brilliant. Kudos to Brianna Kinnier (Vivien/orchestral voice) for her smile, movements and singing. Geoffrey Milton’s portrayal as the Doctor had great dignity. Tom Rosante sparkled as Jesse Vandehof and then in his waiter role. It is always an honor to applaud the strong performance and efforts of Jack Seabury (J.D. Sheldrake/Eichelberger). Lon Erving Shomer is SNL quality comedic as Dr. Dreyfuss. Christina Stankewicz dazzles the audience as (Nurse Kreplinski/orchestral voice), as does Josephine Wallace portraying Miss Olson and an orchestral voice. Last, but not least, the lovely Edna Perez Winston steals a whole scene with her amusing show stopping Marge McDougall and also showed off a beaming talent as an orchestral voice.

Promises, Promises will be playing at the Southampton Cultural Center until Sunday, March 26th with shows Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m.

General admission is $28 and tickets for students under 21 with an ID are $15.

Southampton Cultural Center is located at 25 Pond Lane in Southampton. For more information, call 631-287-4377 or visit www.scc-arts.org.

  • Discover Hamptons History with East Hampton Historical Society’s Guided Tours

We all know that September is the best month in the Hamptons. The summer renters have mostly gone (we’ll miss you!). The weather practically demands that you go out for a walk. Maybe you’ve been too busy at the beach or planning activities for the kids, but now that it’s September, take a stroll, stretch your legs, and explore the rich, beautiful history around the Hamptons.

The East Hampton Historical Society is hosting Guided Walking Tours around the Hamptons all September long, so stay a while and listen.

I love walking tours not just because of the guides, who are great storytellers, but the company and conversations sparked with other attendees. We’re the kind of people you’ll see, hands on hips, squinting to read the well-worn plaque on a historical monument. The people who read those brown signs, who pick up and read the local leaflets at a museum or hotel lobby.  @easthampton_histsoc

  • Real Estate with Diane Saatchi: The One That Got Away

When most people think back to the one that got away, they think about relationships.

I think about real estate.

After 35 years of selling real estate, I’ve seen more instances of homebuyers and sellers getting fixated on the one that got away than you’d think. For buyers, it could be that perfect three-bedroom waterfront cottage that was snapped up the day after they viewed it.

In cases like these, the one that got away isn’t just a quiet reminiscence — it’s a shadow that falls over the months and even years to come, making it difficult if not impossible for would-be buyers to find something that measures up to what they had, or thought they had, before.

  • Why September is the Best Month in the Hamptons and What to Do

If you can allow yourself to believe it, September in the Hamptons is without a doubt the best month to be here. The traffic has subsided, the parking restrictions have come to an end, and the weather is the kind of weather you wish summer was: not too hot, but definitely still hot enough to go to the beach and enjoy the sunshine, and a lot less humid. September in the Hamptons is simply awesome.
