- wonderful music
The new producion of South Pacific at Lincoln Center is wonderful. The music has you singing long after the play is finished. The songs are wonderful. I have the CD in my car and have many enjoyable times listening to it. If you visit Broadway, you must have this recording. Musical theater is not to be missed. The new ingenue, Kelly Ohara is wonderful.She has a lovely voice.
Rating: - South Pacific CD
It is wonderful, saw the play in NYC at Thanksgiving and wanted a CD of the cast.
Rating: - It's about time!
It's about time that we can take in a quality show with great music, outstanding cast AND a full orchestra! We have that and more with the current revival of "South Pacific" and this recording. To hear this orchestra performing Robert Russell Bennett's original orchestrations is alone worth the price of a ticket...and this CD. If you want to hear American Musical Theater at its best, this is the recording to own.

Rodgers and Hammerstein forever.There music never gets old or dated.New voices with new interpretations provide a wonderful ride down memory trail.You have to force yourself not to sing along, you know the words to all of the songs; however,you cannot do justice to these performances.
