Here is a blog post from one of our dear volunteers, Kat Colvin, about her experience at South Pacific. Enjoy!
Remember how I volunteer my booty off for The Denver Center, then go see a show on its opening night… This is one of those blogs.. =]
I went.
Obviously.
Now blogger friends, when you think South Pacific, you may think…
<- back-in-the-day style……or Mr. Shue *cough* Broadway revival with Matt Morrison style:
..which is the style that you should be thinking of.
And before I go any further…
I feel I must clarify that Mr. Shue is not in the touring cast.
But don’t pout. Trust.
Because Anderson Davis IS.
! Swoon-worthy, eh? !
Ok, I’m going to move past the swoon and get professional.
[Ha! That sounds funny even from me!]
Cusack’s voice is Stunning!
[yeah bold AND italic emphasis]
Her voice fits the style and music of the era so well.
As the character she is as funny as she is smart!
Plus the clothes she gets to wear!
I. Love. The. Swimsuits.
[40s orange and red one pieces are love]
…okay then there was the male lead:
holycraponacorndog!! The man can sing!
Apparently he is a operatic bass-baritone…
And shit son! One can tell!
I am not even the biggest opera fan,
but I’d go to be floored by his voice again!
The next part of my review is something I couldn’t legally supply a picture of…
The Set.
at times…. It. Was. Breathtaking.
Another thing that is hard to capture in picture format?
The live orchestra sound. Man’o'man.
The live orchestra sound. Man’o'man.
There is just something about having a full pit that changes the feel of a room.
Over all, the show was a ‘wonderful‘ classic!
After the show Chris, Nathan, Cathie and I all went to the stage door, just in case.
You see, there was an opening night gala and I wasn’t sure if we were invited…
..who I must say, in person, does qualify for some Silver Foxy swoon! 
After gazing out over the gala from the car park,
Nathan and I headed North toward home..
..though we did stop for an infamous cinna-roll…
