'Cherry Musical' rooted in Door County
Fish Creek - Forget the pristine beaches, whispering pines and determinedly old-fashioned stores. The symbol most fully associated with Door County's simpler, rural past is the cherry.
It was therefore only a matter of time before Door County's American Folklore Theatre - itself a throwback to older theatrical forms and traditions - staged a musical featuring this iconic image.
With Pam Kriger directing and choreographing, the result is "Bing! The Cherry Musical," the fifth original production created for AFT by the team of Dave Hudson (book and lyrics) and Paul Libman (music).
Loosely based on Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard," "Bing!" poses a similar dilemma: Can flatlanders Ruby (Raeleen McMillion) and her daughter Anna (Molly Rhode) hold onto their Door County cherry orchard, given unpaid taxes and mounting bills?
Not likely, if Ruby doesn't mend her shopaholic ways - what she refers to in an early number as "Retail Therapy" - as she continues to mourn the death of her husband.
A trio of Door County locals tries to right the ship. Chuck (Doug Mancheski) manages the property, fretting over the weather and Ruby's mounting bills.His son (Chase Stoeger) Pete maintains. Maggie (Pamela Niespodziani) cooks and tends house.
Michael (Lee Becker) is hiding behind the scenes, offering cash on the barrel so that it can turn yet another condo in Door County cherry orchard was.
The best part of "Bing!" based on a proven formula that Hudson and Libman been using "Muskie Love": the troubled romance of a couple that we can all see are for the other - even if they stubbornly refuse to see it for themselves.
This time around, the querulous twosome are Pete and Anna, former high school sweethearts who had fallen in love with each other while watching romantic comedies - a nice touch, given how blind they are to the many parallels between their own relationship and the movie plots they've memorized.
Stoeger and Rhode are married in real life, which adds to the fun in "The Romantic Movies Song." They also harmonize well in "I Never Thought About You," which beautifully undercuts the title's tart denial.
There is a similarly bittersweet quality to McMillion's sung epiphany about how much the orchard - so important to her beloved husband - means to her. Ditto the tender "Remember Today," in which the show's three women reprise the poignant final act of "The Cherry Orchard" itself, vowing to keep the past alive through memory.

The snowflakes fall as winter calls and time just seems to fly
Is it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry
My heart is sad like a mourning dove that's lost it's mate in flight
Heard the cooing of his heart through the stillness of the night
Whispering pines whispering pines tell me is it so
Whispering pines whispering pines you're the one who knows
My darling's gone oh she's gone and I need your sympathy

Whispering pines send my baby back to me
[ ac.guitar ]
See that squirrel up in the tree his mate there on the ground
Hear their barking call of love of the happiness they found
Is my love still my love oh this I gotta know
Send a mesaage by the wind because I love her so
Whispering pines whispering pines...
