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."

Julia M. Foster (Orlando, Florida USA)
This CD is a GREAT value! The sound qualiiy is excellent ..... and there is nothing I can say about the music that has not been said .....
fabulous. August 18, 2008
Artistic Davd (White Plains, NY USA)
The CD reflects how truly wonderful the revival actually is. . .
Since so much of the revival revolves around the score -- the show has been produced with the original arrangements (30 piece orchestra). . .the CD is exceptional.

South Pacific from biased reviewer August 13, 2008
Dennis Anderson (McMinnville, OR, USA)
An acquaintance of mine (friend of friends)plays Bloody Mary so I am predisposed to like it. But I was not disappointed in any aspect. I loved the original and loved the movie and I love this. I hope I can get to see it in a year or two. Also, the backdrop for the first half of the movie was the view from my condo in Kane`ohe, Hawai`i, for eight years, so when I want to be reminded of South Pacific, I just look at the mural on our wall in Oregon. Good luck Loretta. Keep on belting. Aloha.
 Nice addition to the original! August 12, 2008
Jan R. Schulman
this is an excellent new production (audio-wise) of an old favorite. I especially loved the voice of the singer who played Emil. He was very romantic (as he should be) and his voice has a beautiful sound. Nellie was quite good too, but her voice was just a little harsh for my taste. Not the softness and urgency and compassion of Mary Martin. But nevertheless, quite good. The only major weakness for me was Joe Cable. His voice was very weak and could not handle the range of the songs he sang. Still, it is definitely an entertaining and high-level recording and I would recommend it for anyone who is also a fan of "South Pacific". It won't replace the original, but it is a nice addition.
