South Pacific tonight!

I saw it yesterday (matinee) and was so moved. The cast, the music (the orchestra is so rich). I became very emotional---the audience was full of senior citizens----I'm sure many of these men were WWII vets (my own father was---served overseas). So----I was hearing the incredible reaction of these audience members and watching this beautiful moving performance and had tears just streaming down. I wouldn't have missed it for anything, tho'---just an amazing experience.

I was there at yesterday's matinee as well. Only Matt Caplan was out. It's AMAZING! Although I thought the sound was way too soft.

I saw the show Tuesday night and loved it! It was WONDERFUL! Hope you have a great time tonight. Please report back and let us know what you thought of it.

stagescreen, I will look for you ...... I'll be the one crying during the overture!!!!!!!
Where are you sitting ??????

We're sitting in the 500's, I think. Far left orchestra, like in the second or third row.

Quite old----they appeared to be in very late 70's or early 80's. (MANY of them)

I don't think I do, but ALL those in their late 70's and early 80's would NOT be WWII veterans, as I've already explained.

My point was that I think South Pacific is not so much about WWII, which just happens to be the setting -- and audience members smiling would have little or nothing to do with having been in the South Pacific during that time. South Pacific makes EVERYONE smile. I have gray hair and you would see me smiling -- but that doesn't mean I'm a WWII vet -- I'm older than dirt, but was born AFTER WWII.
