BTW, the Bogart NYU production of SOUTH PACIFIC was as a reaction to the then-current invasion of Granada, it was set in an army hospital for traumatized soldiers. As part of their "graduation ceremony" they had to play a part in SOUTH PACIFIC. The rest of the show was done as always. The Richard Rogers estate tried to shut it down, only to have someone--it may have been Mary Rogers--come see the show and love it.
I agree with Namo, theatre is not taxidermy.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
