Soon to celebrate it's 2nd year on Broadway is Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific. The show which won seven 2008 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival continues to enchant audiences of all ages eight times a week at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre. I had the pleasure of seeing the show during previews and was blown away by the production. The show which opened on Broadway over fifty years ago is just as powerful and relevant as it was in 1949. Now granted I wasn't alive to see the final production but I can only imagine being in the theatre back then and seeing the show for the very first time.
I first discovered South Pacific as a teenager when I performed the show in high school. Even then I could tell that it was a masterpiece.Now most revivals usually slow down after it's first year but South Pacific continues to defy the odds and audiences are still flocking to the show some two years later. By the way if you are one of the few people that haven't seen the show I have good news for you. From now thru March 14 you can get tickets to see this Tony winning musical at prices that are below face value. Who says you can't get a bargain these days? Get your tickets to see South Pacific on Broadway. It is a treasure.
