"Ted von Pohle was my very first voice teacher and I wouldn't be where I am today without him. He was able to enhance the natural ability of my voice while helping me build a healthy technique to support it. His training gave me a wonderful foundation for college where I studied opera and eventually transitioned into singing in the musical theatre style. I am now performing eight times a week on Broadway in Mean Girls and understudying three of the lead singing roles. Ted's training was essential to my career and I couldn't be more grateful to have had the opportunity to be one of his students."

"Ted von Pohle was my very first vocal instructor. His fine musicianship, skill, breadth of knowledge and inherent gift for teaching inspired a passion for singing in me that has lead to a busy, fulfilling local career as an actor, concert singer and teacher. I still, these many years later, use manyof the vocal tools and techniques that Ted gave me as a beginner."

The star of this show is Ted von Pohle as Emile - he not only looks the part of the suave Frenchman who intrigues the naive Nellie, but he plays it with warmth and tenderness; and, of course, as anyone who saw him last year in "Kiss Me, Kate" knows, he has the voice for those songs that make "South Pacific" a classic. He ranges from the doubtful lover, wondering if he dares woo Nellie in "Twin Soliloquies," to the man with shattered dreams regretting "This Nearly Was Mine," and although his "Some Enchanted Evening" is magnificent, one has to note he is also pretty swell when he mimics Nellie washing him "right out of her hair."
