This past Saturday, after four weeks in the rehearsal room and two weeks of tech, the cast and crew of SOUTH PACIFIC gave a performance -- and then had a bash.
The emotion in the room was close to the surface today, as it has been during all significant moments of the rehearsal process: the feeling seems to come in waves, as if in homage to the oceanic setting of the show.
"This is my first time doing a show in this theater," Danny Burstein said, "and I'm impressed by both how large the stage is and yet how intimate the place feels when you're up there."
Even though the rehearsal room for SOUTH PACIFIC is located as deep in the bowels of Lincoln Center Theater as a bomb shelter, it is not cut off from the outside world - especially not in an election year.
