The run of South Pacific at The 5th Avenue Theatre is finally coming to an end this weekend. While most of the people reading this have probably already gone and seen this impressive musical revival and slightly updated work by director and rising star Bart Sher, I still want to urge those that have not had the chance, to go before it leaves town on Sunday February 21st.

The Seattle Police Department has announced that they will be rewarding New York actor Peter Rini for his actions on Monday February 8 when he helped to apprehend a driver who'd hit two parked cars, both occupied, while driving a stolen van.

I'd lay odds that the Lincoln Center production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific is the most satisfying one since Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza created Nellie Forbush and Emile de Becque in Joshua Logan's 1949 Broadway production.

Bartlett Sher’s highly touted revival of South Pacific has a lot more on its mind than an evening’s enchantment.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic musical South Pacific is one of the most honored musicals in Broadway history. The original 1949 production won the Pulitzer Prize for drama and a ton of Tony Awards for production and performances.  The recent Lincoln Center revival, still doing great business in New York, also picked up a slew of Tony Awards, including ones for Best Musical Revival and Best Director for Bartlett Sher.

“South Pacific” is a monumental musical that soared to star-spangled success when it first appeared in 1949, nominated for 10 Tonys and winning all of them. The musical came close to repeating history when its revival received seven Tonys in 2008, including best revival of a musical. One of those 2008 Tonys went to Intiman's outgoing artistic director Bartlett Sher, who is directing The 5th Avenue Theatre's production.

What better antidote for the winter blahs than a trip to a warm tropical island filled with exotic and interesting characters, music, dance, nostalgia, drama, suspense, comedy, and romance?

Chad Jennings was set to walk away from acting when his “day job” boss encouraged him to go to one more audition at the 5th Avenue Theatre.

Dancap Productions is bringing the Seven-time 2008 Tony Award-Winning Lincoln Center Theater production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific to Toronto August 12th - September 15th 2010. It will be a major part of Dancap Production’s inaugural Summer Broadway Series.

Director Bartlett Sher has a homecoming with touring production of "South Pacific," winner of the Tony for best musical revival on Broadway.
