We're always wary about giving a show a 'perfect' review, especially as we do things slightly different here and very much take into account the audience reaction, which we always get at the end of a production. Based on what we saw on the stage of the Wales Millennium Centre last night, and how the crowd reacted, we have to say that SOUTH PACIFIC is about as near perfect an event as you're likely to see anywhere.
We say event, because that's how the show felt at times.
You'd think there was nowhere to go with this classic musical, with songs from Rodgers & Hammerstein, but the Chichester Theatre production is powerful, mind-blowing, thoughtful and despite the fact it's 73 years since the show first premiered on Broadway, it feels more relevant today than its ever been.
Before you ask, the movie is a youngster at only 64 years old (1958).
I want to launch straight into the audience reaction to last night's performance, of which there is a lot. You'll notice a bit of theme running through their comments. Think male cast members and the shower scene, and I think we'll leave it there for now (thanks ladies and gents)......
