Just got home from the theatre - where there was a wonderful energy tonight!
Am now watching it (for a bit) on TV (I recorded it), and am really pleased with the way they captured it for TV!
But, oh how I wish Matthew Morrison had been able to return. I just did NOT like Samonsky's performance...
Adore Kelli O'Hara. Always have. And Paulo Szot is pure gold. As a pair they are as close to perfection as it gets...
SO glad I have this recorded to keep forever! It's a gem.

NYadgal, couldn't have said it better. Missed Morrison, LOVED O'Hara and Szot. Both were goosebump enducing. Last scene Act I was incredible.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 12:15amWell I have to say that I enjoyed it. The "tone" of the show was different than what I saw but it was good. I got more into it about an hour and a 1/2 in.
Just give the world Love.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 12:20amThat was a really lovely broadcast. I saw the show a while back and wasn't particularly enthused, but after watching that I am totally going to try student rush for tomorrow, I'm not sure why I wasn't a huge fan the first time haha.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 12:31amI just started watching at midnight. The overture had me in tears. I actually saw the production with Osnes, but I am so upset I didn't get to see it with O'Hara...she is a gem. Her commitment to the role is so incredible and she is just so classic and timeless. I had goosebumps and teared-up again during Some Enchanted Evening. The SeaBees just made their entrance! I totally agree that Danny and Loretta would have won TONYs had they not been up in the same year as Gypsy...maybe Kelli too.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 12:35amto record from sat receiver to vcr is as follows::just plug the left and right audio cables coming from your sat receiver [sat receivers whether they have 1 set of 3 jacks or 2 sets of three, ONLY have output jacks composed of left-right audio plus single video,so you CAN'T go wrong] into the left and right audio INPUT jacks on the back of the vcr[make sure you plug into INPUT not output on vcr] Do the same with single video cable coming from the sat receiver to the VIDEO IN jack on back of vcr --Put VCR into LINE 1 input[should be a button on your remote which switches vcr input from channel 3 to LINE 1-- Put the vcr into LINE 1 - wait for show to start and press record -Make sure tape is new -or if a used tape make sure the 2 punch out holes on vcr tape have been covered so the machine will go into record mode! Enjoy South Pacific!

I wholeheartedly agree with you about Samonsky. He doesn't even come across as "saxxy" because his conceited ego is such a complete and utter turn off.
Also, Loretta is a treasure and I would love to see her find another home on Broadway if that is possible.

Samonsky's voice is indeed glorious- really, the only glorious thing about his performance. His acting is bad... almost a parody of dramatic acting.
But this is a stunning production- I doubt we'll see a revival of this quality for a long time.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 12:47amThis is random but it came into my head tonight that Andrew Samonsky looks a lot like a young Robert Westenberg. The tone of Samonsky's voice over the radio transmission with Emile was how he should have said all his lines: natural and unaffected. Could hardly believe it was the same actor.

"This is random but it came into my head tonight that Andrew Samonsky looks a lot like a young Robert Westenberg."
A lot of his line readings reminded me of Westenberg in Into the Woods.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 1:05amI liked Kelli better tonight than I did when I saw her live, but I still don't understand why people were flipping out over her. She always comes across a little bland to me.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 1:08amKelli's acting is extremely natural and nuanced. I think she would have easily won the Tony in a different year.

YES! That's who he reminded me of! Westenberg as the Prince.
And Roy Scheider...

Posted: 8/19/10 at 1:13amI never thought I could love a voice more than Kristin Chenoweth's but Kelli O'Hara may be passing her in my book. I just love that legit vocal quality and find it so refreshing in a world of pop, belting, riffing, and screaming on Broadway.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 1:15amOh, Kelli O'Hara definitely has one of the most beautiful voices on Broadway.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 2:02amAlways one of my favorite scores and this production is so excellent I don't have words. I found myself weeping at the sheer beauty of it. Loved every minute of it.
