GREAT READ for anyone interested in learning more about, Paulo Szot, the "Emile" of Broadway's (recently well-received) SOUTH PACIFIC at Lincoln Center

I remember meeting Szot ever-so-briefly at the first preview performance and was stunner-stunned by his stunningness. Both in the role and as a man on the street. What is it about hot foreign baritones?

Fantastic profile piece on him... shines a beautiful light on the different worlds of opera versus musical theatre, and what a prize-gem this actor is to the LCT production. And still keeps Szot kind of a mystery.

Szot is the only opera singer I have heard of who started out as a dancer. No wonder he looks so good.
