SOUTH PACIFIC: IN CONCERT FROM CARNEGIE HALL [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 2006
• Genre: Music, Musical
• Plot: Broadway, like everyone, loves Reba McEntire. The redheaded Oklahoma firebrand took on the one-night-only concert role of Nellie Forbush on June 9, 2005—the role Mary Martin immortalized in the 1949 Rodgers & Hammerstein classic South Pacific—and the rialto’s toughest critics, led by The New York Times’ Ben Brantley, instantly surrendered. 'Open-voiced and open-faced, she was born to play Nellie,' Brantley wrote of the Carnegie Hall benefit performance, adding that the entire production was performed 'in a state of nearly unconditional rapture. It was one of those nights when cynicism didn’t stand a chance.' Happily that enchanted evening can be shared with fans everywhere when 'SOUTH PACIFIC' IN CONCERT FROM CARNEGIE HALL comes to DVD. Completing the luxury casting are Broadway and Hollywood icons Brian Stokes Mitchell and Alec Baldwin, as, respectively, French planter Emile de Becque and wise guy sailor Luther Billis. The performance also aired on Thirteen/WNE! T New York’s GREAT PERFORMANCES on PBS in April/May. ;
