Oh I do love 'South Pacific'. One of the loveliest scores in musical theatre history for my money.

So tempted but can't afford it this month - hope all the cheap seats don't go too quickly!

This concert was an absolute treat - I couldn't imagine a better cast, and the orchestra sounded sublime! It reminded me what a stunning score South Pacific has - deceptively simple but full of emotion and delight.
Concert performances are fast becoming a favourite of mine simply for being able to hear these beautiful scores at their full potential. For R&H especially the score just isn't done justice with a small pit band.

Great score - but weak book. Concert format is the best way to see many R&H shows these days!

Loved this. One blip where they had to redo (did Rosalie miss an entrance)?, and I thought the singers could have been a little closer to the mikes, but then I'm struggling with ear infections, so maybe just me. Am a teeny bit in love with John Owen Jones, who did a lovely French via Wales accent. Simon Bailey not Peter Polycarpou as we'd thought, but love Simon Bailey anyway, and he was a gorgeous Billis. Having seen Les Mis the night before quite a surprise to see so many back on stage! Gosh, Ms Thenardier is pretty - great Bloody Mary, Rosalie was charming as Nellie - great part for her, she was super. My surprise of the evening was Bradley Jaden - don't think I've seen him before, but really enjoyed his performance.

One blip where they had to redo (did Rosalie miss an entrance)? I think Alex Parker brought a music cue in too early, so John and Rosalie were still in the middle of their dialogue as the music was playing - hence why Rosalie missed her cue. When they then reached the actual cue, John spoke to Alex and he brought the orchestra in at the right place. Rosalie did look a bit unsure about her entry there, though. Probably disconcerted by the orchestra coming in too early. |

And overall, another winner - I do love my visits to Cadogan Hall |
