I met Mr. Rellim 27 years ago during the production of our high school musical by Cole Porter - Anything Goes. I was Hope Harcourt and he was the Captain. He played the role straight and strong and formally.
Tonight, we all enjoyed our local high school's rendition of the same musical. I was particularly entertained by the performance of the Captain, who I thought had a spot-on Russian accent. I couldn't believe how consistent it was. During intermission, I asked a friend whose bright idea it was to give the Captain an accent.
My friend burst into laughter, then told me the Captain's role was being portrayed by the foreign exchange student from Bulgaria!
