No matter what you do to a production of SOUTH PACIFIC, it is still going to have that unbelievably great Rodgers and Hammerstein score. Decades after SOUTH PACIFIC premiered on Broadway, won the Pulitzer, the Tony and just about every other award available for it to win and became the new long run champ, SOUTH PACIFIC still assaults our senses and perhaps our soul with SOME ENCHANTED EVENING, A COCKEYED OPTIMIST, THERE IS NOTHIN' LIKE A DAME, BALI HA'I, I'M GONNA WASH THAT MAN RIGHT OUTA MY HAIR, A WONDERFUL GUY, YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME, HAPPY TALK, HONEY BUN, and YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFULLY TAUGHT, just to name the majority.

There comes a moment late in the second act of South Pacific when Nellie Forbush (played by the luminous Katie Reid), after hearing the disembodied voice of Emile Debecque (the dashing Marcelo Guzzo) over a two-way radio relaying some heartbreaking news-and confirming to her that he has sacrificed all he holds dear in order to help Allied forces overcome Japanese forces-when she runs on the beach, beseeching Emile to "come back" so that she may admit her foolhardy response to him before he left on that heroic mission. She completes her heartrending plea for his safe return with a lovely reprise, however brief, of Rodgers and Hammerstein's stunning "Some Enchanted Evening."
