Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis PBS filming occurred, as is often the case, toward the end of the show's Broadway run. Original cast member Matthew Morrison, cast as Lt. Cable, had by this time departed, as had first understudy Robert Lenzi. The performance filmed for Live From Lincoln Center features Morrison's second understudy, Andrew Somonsky, who inherited the role toward the end of the run. Somonsky's sullen, somewhat unhinged interpretation of even-keeled, Princeton-educated Joe Cable has made a case for capturing Broadway shows early in their runs for posterity. The same case can be made for Tony-winner Paulo Szot, who had gained considerable weight as the run of the show progressed, which showed on camera.

South Pacifc: You won't find better theatre than this!
It may come as a surprise to some. But even a theatre goer in Glasgow, Scotland, UK knows of the Lincoln Centre and indeed has seen this televised transmission of South Pacific through the medium of you tube. In addition I have, thus far, seen the live touring version of South Pacific 4 times in Glasgow in November 2011 and am about to see it again in Edinburgh in April 2012. I would concur with all the previous reviews but can only add 2 things. One is that having a love of theatre means that on many a night you leave feeling uplifted and perhaps wiser for the event. Never more so that when leaving after watching South Pacific. You won't find a better night at the theatre than this... in my humble opinion. Secondly and lastly, why oh why do we not have a DVD available to purchase of this televised event, reviews tell us it was THAT good so surely a DVD with worldwide appeal could be produced. I honestly believe fans from all over the world WOULD buy it. I even emailed the TV company who didn't bother to reply. So this is for me the very best in theatre production. Cleverly funny, yet with very serious overtones contained in a lively and beautifully crafted and toned musical. Pure magic!
