Editorial Review:

Album Description:
The landmark musical's first-ever Broadway revival! The curtain rang down on Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific in 1954 after five years of extraordinary acclaim and countless awards including nine Tonys and a Pulitzer. Based on James Michener's Pulitzer Prize winning book Tales of the South Pacific, the musical is set on a tropical island during World War II and tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples - U.S. Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and French plantation owner Emile de Becque and Marine Joe Cable and a young local native girl Liat - and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of the war and by their own prejudices. Considered by many the finest musical ever written, the score's songs include such musical theater classics as "Some Enchanted Evening," "Younger Than Springtime," "Bali Ha'i," "There is Nothin' Like a Dame" and "A Wonderful Guy."

It is wonderful, saw the play in NYC at Thanksgiving and wanted a CD of the cast.

- It's about time!
It's about time that we can take in a quality show with great music, outstanding cast AND a full orchestra! We have that and more with the current revival of "South Pacific" and this recording. To hear this orchestra performing Robert Russell Bennett's original orchestrations is alone worth the price of a ticket...and this CD. If you want to hear American Musical Theater at its best, this is the recording to own.

- Old Classic Given Facelift
Before going to NYC in the spring I was least excited to see the musical South Pacific. Remembering only the low-quality film version I had seen as a child I thought the musical would be dull. I could not have been more wrong. The musical echoes of classic Broadway with an outstanding pit orchestra dressed to the nines in tuxedos and black dresses, it was a welcome change from the lax behavior often seen in orchestras with the tubas doing crossword puzzles and absentmindedly listening to the show. The voices of the two leads were absolutely amazing, especially Kelli O'Hara's crystal clear voice. The CD remarkably captures her clarity as well as the beauty of the original sweeping orchestrations. The CD also has a few numbers not included in other cast recordings, songs like "My Girl Back Home" ... Read More

- Rodgers and Hammerstein
Rodgers and Hammerstein forever. There music never gets old or dated. New voices with new interpretations provide a wonderful ride down memory trail. You have to force yourself not to sing along, you know the words to all of the songs; however,you cannot do justice to these performances.
