Last Thursday, the men of SOUTH PACIFIC hit the high seas! Or, more accurately, the calm waters of the San FranciscoBay, while safely docked the entire time at Pier 3 on the Embarcadero. Whether or not we ever actually left port, we definitely had a great time aboard the California Hornblower, in support of the upcoming Fleet Week in San Francisco. It was a ton of fun to perform NOTHIN' LIKE A DAME for the folks aboard this craft, and feeling the stage floor rock beneath my feet during our performance was a new experience for me that really brought some verisimilitude to the whole evening! Check out some photos fromthe event!
Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples -- US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and French plantation owner Emile de Becque and Navy Airman Joe Cable and a young local native girl Liat -- and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices. Considered by many the finest musical ever written, the score’s songs include such classics as “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” “Younger Than Springtime,” “Bali Ha’i,” “There is Nothin’ Like A Dame,” “This Nearly Was Mine” and “A Wonderful Guy.”
