Light Opera Works Production of SOUTH PACIFIC Creates A Perfect Storm

ShowBizChicago: We all know that the weather in Chicago has been unpredictable, unseasonal and, at times, deadly. We have had storms that destroy. In Evanston at Cahn Auditorium the cast and crew of the current Rodgers and Hammerstein classic “South Pacific” they have created their own storm – and it is a perfect storm.

Light Opera Works first presented this magnificent R&H show in 2006 with Larry Adams starring as Emile de Becque and he was fine as was the entire production. In revisiting this show 9 years later LOW made the wise choice to bring him back. The only difference 9 years later is that he has ripened and is at that perfect time to fully realize this role. To say he is magnificent would be an understatement.
