WHITE ROCK - A cast of familiar faces hits the Coast Capital Playhouse stage this month.After cancelling The Drowsy Chaperone, the play originally set to start 2015 for White Rock Players' Club, which operates the Johnston Road theatre, director Ryan Mooney quickly pulled together an adept cast to perform Side By Side By Sondheim.The five-person cast includes well-known actress Cathy Wilmot, Steff Davis, Braeden Cox, Ranae Miller and Rebekah MacEwan, who sits on the board of directors for WRPC."Side By Side By Sondheim is a show put together of a lot of Sondheim musicals," Wilmot explained in a phone interview with the Now."It's one of those things that has a whole bunch of music in it, and it has some narration to tie it together."Wilmot, who has been acting and singing in theatre since 2007, has taken part in three different Stephen Sondheim musicals in her career. One such play she's been in is Sweeney Todd, now known as the major film starring Johnny Depp."Ryan (Mooney) hand-picked people that he knew could sing and could tackle Sondheim because Sondheim, musically, is fairly difficult," Wilmot revealed.Because of the cancellation of The Drowsy Chaperone, Wilmot and the rest of the cast had little time to rehearsefor the show, which runs from Wednesday, Feb. 4 to 28."We started rehearsing in the first week of January, so we've only had three weeks of rehearsal. So it's been a fairly sped-up process," she said."We've had rehearsals three times a week for about three hours," she said last week, "so I think by the time we open the show, we will have had just shy of 40 hours of rehearsal."Tickets to the show are $18 for adults, $16 for students and seniors, and can be purchased at Whiterockplayers. com or at the Coast Capital Playhouse box office, at 1532 Johnston Rd., White Rock.kalexandra@thenownewspaper.comWho is Stephen Sondheim?Stephen Joshua Sondheim (born March 22, 1930) is an American composer and lyricist known for his immense contributions to musical theatre for over 50 years.
