The most romantic show ever
When I was growing up, my mother would listen to the Enzio Pinza/Mary Martin cast album over and over. She saw the show and loved it. My mother died on April 1, 2008 and my husband bought me a ticket to the show for July to see while he was away for a month. I have never enjoyed any type of entertainment more. I knew the words to every song and thought of my mother all the way through crying my eyes out. I now have the cast album for this production and play it over and over. THe songs are so of the moment and project universal feelings. Paul Szot and Kelly have so much chemistry and seem to be feeling real emotions which makes for an unforgetable evening of great music, great story, great singing, great acting. It's too bad it had to end but it is a great gift to the public to produce such an exceptional event. It is priceless.
A Flawless Production of South Pacific
I'd heard that this first-ever Broadway revival of South Pacific was supurb, but nothing could have prepared me for what I would witness on 28th April, 2010 at the Vivien Beaumont Theater. This astonishing production has to be seen to be believed. Every actor on that stage could not be praised highly enough for their sensational performances, and it is easy to appreciate why this musical has had such a long and successful run: it opened on 3rd April, 2008, but its final performance is due to take place on 22nd August, 2010, so if you've not seen it yet - be quick! This was the fifth, and best production of SOUTH PACIFIC that I've seen - the first was in 1963 when I was 11, so I know this show very well. The director, Bartlett Sher, must be some kind of theatrical genius to be able to make this 60-year-old musical look so perfectly brand new with a set of actors who are completely believable in every way. Children and teenagers should be encouraged to see this production, but be quick.
AWESOME
I saw the show Valentine's Day and I must say it was the best show I have ever seen in either New York or Philadelphia. The leading man was unbelievable as well as the leading lady. The orhestra was awesome, the talents of the entire cast was just great. I will be telling all of my friends and family to see this show. THE BEST!!
South Pacific, 2008 Revival
I first heard the music to this musical when I was three years old; my parents had brought the 33 1/2 record back from N.Y.C. I cannot tell you why South Pacific, Ezio Pinza, Mary Martin, and all those characters captured me, but they did--for life. I was fearful upon making reservations to see the "Revival." No way could it ring true--just as the film did not. I know the words and the music by heart. ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT QUESTION, THIS PRODUCTION WAS NOT ONLY PERFECT, BUT PROFOUND. AND, IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT THIS WAS NOT JUST WWII, BUT NOW. THE PASSION IS ALMOST UNBEARABLE. I LOVE IT EVEN MORE--HAVING SEEN SUCH A SUPERB PRODUCTION. CONGRATULATIONS!
An Amazing Theater Experience !
South Pacific was by far the best musical I have seen ! Loved every minute of every song...I walked out of there and could not wait to begin listening to the soundtrack....one thing though, the seats in the theater are EXTREMELY narrow and uncomfortable for anyone shall we say with a "large backend" and long legs.
A Dream
I was born and raised in New York. This, This was the best play, musical.....I have ever seen here. The cast is everything I was hoping for. The music...their voices ...sometimes I wake up in my sleep and Im humming tunes from it. When Im at my desk at work ...I just think of it and wish I were there. Unbelievable. Thank You to all the cast for bringing this to us. Brillant!
